What this record means
The record shows that the mark “ROCK IT” was registered on the Principal Register on April 24, 2001, but the registration was cancelled on January 26, 2008 because the owner, Diversified Composite Works, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered sculptures of cement that are hollow and appear as a boulder, a very specific type of decorative art. A similar name would raise the closest concern only if the new use involved comparable cement sculptures or related decorative objects; uses in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses, only that the specific registration is no longer active. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights to that exact wording for a narrow set of goods, so caution is advised when entering that niche.
