SOCK IT TO ME

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO ME” is no longer active; it was cancelled on April 8 1996 because the owner, Brenda Diaz, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 1989 for retail store services in the field of socks and hosiery, specifically “RETAIL STORE SERVICES IN THE FIELD OF SOCKS AND HOSIERY.” Because the goods are limited to a single class (042) and a narrow retail service, a similar name used in a different class or for unrelated goods would be a farther concern, while a name used for sock or hosiery retail services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified services. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 1996. If you’re thinking of a similar name for sock or hosiery retail services, this history suggests a meaningful concern that you should consider.
