BETTER & MORE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “BETTER & MORE” is dead and was abandoned by the applicant, Lin, Pi‑Lan, an individual, after failing to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on April 7, 1997 and abandoned on July 1, 1998. It was on the Principal Register and covered goods in class 020, specifically a wide range of window coverings such as blinds, shades, draperies and shutters. Because the abandonment occurred before any registration was issued, the mark does not give the owner control over the wording in any jurisdiction. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in November 1997 and an examiner assignment in October 1997, but no further examination steps. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone looking at a similar name, the closest concern would be the abandoned claim to window‑covering goods; however, the abandonment means the mark offers no enforceable protection.
