BASS BABY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BASS BABY” is no longer active; it was cancelled on December 14, 2015 because the registrant, SCHAFER SYSTEMS INC., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was originally registered on March 30, 1993 for plastic molded fishing and sport boats, a very specific class of goods. Because the cancellation was due to a failure to maintain the registration, the owner no longer holds enforceable rights in that class. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over that particular type of boat. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the niche of plastic fishing or sport boats; otherwise the risk is lower, but the mark’s past registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that area.
