LOONEY LUMINARIA

What this record means

The record shows that “LOONEY LUMINARIA” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Trendmasters, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment entered on August 17 1999. The filing covered Halloween‑themed decorative items: plastic or foam pumpkins, some with sound electronics, and pull‑rope chimes, both in International Class 020 and Class 021. A later filing that uses the same wording for anything outside those Halloween decorations would encounter the closest record‑based concern in that narrow decorative‑holiday niche, but the record does not give Trendmasters control over all uses of “Looney Luminaria” in other categories. The prosecution history shows the usual steps – publication for opposition, a notice of allowance, and the final abandonment for lack of use – and there are no entries indicating oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a Halloween‑related product line, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
