SOCK-IT-TO-'EM
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOCK-IT-TO‑'EM” is no longer active; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, MURDOCK, INC., a corporation organized in Florida, failed to file a declaration of continued use. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1987 for the specific good of an insecticide for pets described as “a sock.” Because the cancellation was due to a failure to maintain the registration, the owner no longer holds enforceable rights under this mark. The record does not create a blanket control over the wording “SOCK‑IT‑TO‑'EM” in all contexts; it only covered that particular pet insecticide. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the niche area of pet insecticides, but the cancelled status suggests the risk is lower than for an active registration.
