BLUE BABOON

What this record means

The record shows that the “BLUE BABOON” application, filed by Byron A. Donzis on April 5 1999, was abandoned on June 21 2000 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The filing listed goods in four classes: Class 009 for sunglasses, Class 020 for key chains, Class 025 for clothing and apparel such as caps, shoes, golf shirts and T‑shirts, and Class 028 for toys. A similar name used on any of those items would raise the closest record‑based concern because the USPTO record ties “BLUE BABOON” to those specific categories, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on September 15 1999, assignment to an examiner on September 17 1999, and the final abandonment entry on June 21 2000; there are no later maintenance filings or renewal dates. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement activity is visible. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market sunglasses, apparel, key chains or toys under a similar name.
