What this record means
The record shows that the mark “STICK‑IT‑TO‑’EM” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Richard Starnes, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was held on the Principal Register for a single class, 028, covering an adult game that includes a doll, pins, and literary materials designed to provide an outlet for expressing negative emotions. Because the goods are very specific, a similar name used for a different type of product or service would be farther from the scope of this abandoned mark, but the record still indicates that the wording was once considered distinctive for that particular game. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for a different product, the closest concern is the abandoned game in class 028, and the record does not establish control over all uses of the wording.
