HAPPY HATS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “HAPPY HATS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Jane Gibson and Company, a corporation organized in Oklahoma, and the mark was filed on April 8, 1999 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The only class recorded is 025, covering hats, caps, and headwear. A similar name used for those same types of headwear would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the mark no longer controls any use of the wording, but it does not remove the possibility that other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in September 1999 and abandonment in June 2000, with no later maintenance events. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion in the hat and cap market, but the mark itself is no longer active.
