SIT-N-STEP STOOL

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “SIT‑N‑STEP STOOL” was abandoned on July 26 1999 after the applicant, Todd Huschka, failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only listed goods are “end table that can be converted into another type of furniture, namely, a stool” in International Class 020, meaning the closest area of concern would be for furniture that changes form, especially convertible tables or stools. The record does not give the owner any control over every use of the words “sit‑n‑step” or “stool” in unrelated categories. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on July 26 1999, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history shows only the refusal and abandonment steps, with no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market a convertible table or stool under a similar name, since the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that narrow furniture niche.
