BLUE MOON

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BLUE MOON” is dead, having been abandoned by its owner, Billy Bob’s Autos, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The application was filed on April 22, 1998 and the abandonment was recorded on January 14, 1999. The mark covered automobiles and automobile accessories in class 012 and adhesive stickers and decals in class 016. A similar name used in those exact goods would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. Because the mark is abandoned, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any class. The prosecution history shows a single correspondence in August 1998, assignment to an examiner, and an express abandonment mailed on January 14, 1999, with no further maintenance or enforcement events. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name, this abandoned record suggests a modest risk of confusion only in the specific automobile and sticker markets.
