What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TAIL WAGGING GOOD!” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Hereford Bi‑Products, a Texas corporation. The mark covered pet foods and treats under class 031, with first use on March 3, 1993. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the pet‑food and treat market, since that is the only goods category shown. The abandonment does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only reflects that the mark is no longer active in that specific class. The prosecution history indicates a non‑final action mailed on July 19, 1993, followed by abandonment on February 17, 1994. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the pet‑food and treat space, but no broader claim of protection exists.
