THE HAPPY HAT STORE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THE HAPPY HAT STORE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is ORIGINAL MAD HATTER, INC., THE, a Nevada corporation. The mark was filed on April 11, 1985 and abandoned on December 27, 1985. It covered the goods “RETAIL MEN’S, WOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S HAT STORE” in class 042, which is a scientific and technology services class. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses selling hats to men, women, and children, especially if the goods are marketed in a similar retail setting. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “happy” or “hat store” in other contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific hat‑retail scope remains a potential point of concern.
