JUST FAUX FUN

What this record means

The record shows that “JUST FAUX FUN” is an abandoned application, filed on Dec 08 1997 by Katharine V. Payne as an individual, and the USPTO marked it dead on Jun 20 1999 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The filing covered two classes: Class 020 for furniture, mirrors, picture frames and similar objects decorated with painted finishes, and Class 042 for decorative services that apply painted finishes to objects and to building interiors and exteriors. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any furniture or decorative‑painting services, because those are the exact areas the record lists; uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown but are not automatically free of risk. The prosecution history only reflects the non‑final action and the eventual abandonment, with no indication of opposition, cancellation or court action, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a mark that touches furniture or decorative painting, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO examined that combination of words for those goods and services.
