What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CLAUDEMICHAEL DESIGNS” is dead; it was abandoned on December 12, 2000 because the applicant, Michael David Barker, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on November 19, 1999 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was listed on the Principal Register for goods in class 020, specifically home decor products such as picture frames. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest concern would arise for other home‑decor or picture‑frame products that might be marketed under a similar name. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on March 31, 2000 and an assignment to an examiner on March 21, 2000 before the abandonment. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern for home‑decor goods, but the mark’s abandonment means the owner has not maintained a claim to the name.
