What this record means
The record shows that “LOONEY SOFT SOUNDS” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, TRENDMASTERS, INC., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued, with the abandonment entered on September 10, 1998. The filing covered only Class 028, specifically plush toys, animated and mechanical plush toys, action figures and related accessories, playset buildings, toy jewelry, dolls, collectible toy figures, toy jewelry boxes, cases for play accessories, pocket playsets, toy tea sets and toy animal figures. Because the protection was limited to those toy‑related goods, a similar name used for unrelated products such as software, clothing or food would be far less likely to run into a direct conflict, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history shows the application moved through standard examination steps, received a Notice of Allowance, and then was abandoned when no use evidence was submitted; it never reached the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern only if you plan to market toys or similar collectibles under a comparable name.
