BOSS
Dead · Withdrawn DEAD/APPLICATION/Withdrawn/AbandonedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “BOSS” is dead, having been abandoned by the applicant, Hugo Boss A.G., a German stock company, after an express abandonment filed on August 29, 1988. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered a wide range of goods in class 028, including gymnastic and sports equipment such as balls, skis, golf clubs, tennis rackets; board games, card games, and related equipment; and a variety of toys, from model vehicles and action figures to dolls, puzzles, and stuffed toys. A new use of the name “BOSS” in any of those categories would raise the closest concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the record shows no opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement activity. Because the mark is no longer active, the risk of infringement is low, but using the name in the same or similar goods could still attract attention from the owner’s former rights holder.
