CLOSE ENOUGH TO CARE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows the mark CLOSE ENOUGH TO CARE is cancelled; the registration was voided on Sep 16 1991 because the registrant, North Mississippi Medical Center, failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the history contains no later enforcement actions. The mark was originally registered on the Principal Register for three classes: Class 016 covering stationery‑like writing papers, envelopes, bumper stickers, pens and health‑services marketing brochures; Class 025 covering T‑shirts and caps; and Class 042 covering hospital medical services. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those goods or services, especially in health‑care marketing or related printed materials, but the record does not give the owner exclusive rights over the words themselves in unrelated fields. Because the registration was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 1991, and no opposition or other enforcement activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for health‑related services or related printed items.
