EITHER PEDAL HARD OR GET OUT OF MY WAY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “EITHER PEDAL HARD OR GET OUT OF MY WAY” is dead and was abandoned by HARD CONCEPTS INCORPORATED, a California corporation, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for clothing, specifically shirts, T‑shirts, tank tops, jackets, pants, hats, sweatshirts, sweatpants, swimsuits, underwear, and shirts. Because the mark was never used in commerce and was abandoned, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on July 1, 1998. If you are thinking of using a similar name for apparel, the closest record‑based concern is the abandoned clothing mark, but the lack of active enforcement suggests a lower risk than a live, registered mark.
