MISS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark MISS was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. 1445871) to NOUSVO, INC., a California corporation, but the registration was cancelled on March 27, 2020 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only listed goods are “artificial fingernails, fingernail polish and fingernail preparations” in International Class 3, meaning the closest area of concern is any cosmetics or nail‑care product that uses the word MISS. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word in other industries or contexts. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation notice on March 27, 2020; no future renewal or deadline is provided. The prosecution history contains a notice of suit in 2010 and 2011 but no other enforcement actions appear. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for nail‑care items, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
