SPORTY

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Steiner‑Optik GmbH, with the cancellation entered on March 4 2006 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only “binoculars” in International Class 009, so a later user of the word SPORTY for eyewear, sporting equipment or unrelated services would face the closest record‑based concern in the binoculars market, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the term in other categories. Because the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation; no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use SPORTY for optical or similar devices, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
