What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BUTTON POKEY” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, John Magolske, an individual, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered; it was only allowed on the Principal Register before abandonment. The goods listed are a hand‑held tool for applying pressure to and manipulating buttons, switches, input devices, papers, and various other articles. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of hand‑held tools that press or manipulate buttons or switches. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Button” or “Poke” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active claim, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is very close to that tool.
