FAITH

What this record means

The record shows that the mark FAITH was abandoned, so it is not live, registered, pending or cancelled, and the applicant listed was Mark W. Irvin, an individual who filed a use‑in‑commerce application on June 3, 1996. The only goods shown are “casual clothing hats” in International Class 025, with a first use date of December 29, 1995 and a commercial use date of May 31, 1996, so a similar name used for clothing—especially hats—would raise the closest record‑based concern. Because the application was abandoned on July 3, 1997 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action, the USPTO record does not give Irvin control over the word FAITH in any other category or industry. The prosecution history notes the assignment to an examiner, a mailed non‑final action, and the final abandonment, and there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market casual hats under a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific class and product description.
