MISS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark MISS was abandoned by its owner AS SYNTHETIC CO., LTD., a corporation organized in China, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated Aug 21 1990; the application was originally filed on Dec 19 1988 and never reached registration. The only listed goods are “boots and shoes” in International Class 025, so a similar name used for footwear would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “MISS.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed on Dec 30 1989, followed by the abandonment on Aug 21 1990, indicating the application was not successful. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a footwear brand with the same name.
