SOUR SMILES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOUR SMILES” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Buy The Weigh, Inc., a corporation organized in Illinois. The application was filed on May 15, 1990 under an intent‑to‑use basis for class 030, which covers a confectionery product consisting of candy. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The closest area of concern would be other candy or confectionery products that might use the same name. The prosecution history shows a standard Office action sequence that ended with abandonment on August 21, 1992, and no later maintenance or renewal events are listed. There are no visible enforcement signals such as oppositions or cancellations in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk of confusion only if the new use is in the same candy category, but the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording.
