KEEP IT REAL
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “KEEP IT REAL” is no longer active – the Principal Register registration (No. 2295996) was cancelled on September 2, 2006 because the owner, Keep It Real Records, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the file now lists the mark as dead. The registration covered only Class 009 goods – specifically pre‑recorded audio cassettes, vinyl records, video cassettes and compact discs that contain musical sound or audiovisual recordings – so a later use of the same wording on similar media would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the phrase in other categories. There is no indication of oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity in the history provided. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “Keep It Real” for comparable audio‑visual products.
