THE DRAG-IN FLY
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “THE DRAG‑IN FLY” is an abandoned application, filed by Edward A. Mathews on May 3 1985 and abandoned on March 13 1986 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action; the latest status event is that abandonment. The only goods listed are “SPORTING GOODS (FISHING LURES)” in International Class 028, with a first use date of May 1 1982. A later filing that uses the same wording for fishing lures would be the closest area of concern, because the record’s protection (though never granted) was limited to that specific category. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “THE DRAG‑IN FLY” in other industries or contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market fishing lures under the same name.
