SOCK-IT
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOCK‑IT” is no longer live; it was cancelled on July 23 2005 because the owner, Jeffrey A. Nelson, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register on October 20 1998 for the specific good of a sock‑holding disc used in a washer or dryer to keep a pair of socks together. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the record does not give the owner any ongoing control over the wording, but it does leave a historical claim in that narrow category. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2005. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the area of laundry accessories that hold socks together; outside that specific product, the record suggests a lower risk, but it does not guarantee freedom to use the term elsewhere.
