ALMOST

What this record means

The record shows that “ALMOST” is no longer active – it was cancelled on Dec 20 1993 because the registrant, Marvin Glass & Associates, a limited partnership organized in Illinois, failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the registration is dead. The only goods listed are “DOLLS AND DOLL APPAREL” in International Class 028, meaning the closest area of concern would be any other brand using “ALMOST” for toys, dolls or related clothing. The record does not give the owner control over the word in unrelated markets, so a use for, say, software or food would be farther from the scope shown here. There is no supplemental‑register activity; the mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1987 and then cancelled. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a doll‑related brand using “ALMOST,” but the risk drops sharply for dissimilar product categories.
