What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PET BLOOMERS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is FOSTER & SMITH, a corporation organized in Wisconsin. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 018, covering sanitary garments for animals, with first use in commerce on October 1, 1996. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of animal sanitary apparel. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in January 2001 followed by abandonment in September 2001, with no later maintenance events. No enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the dead status suggests a lower risk, but the specific animal garment scope remains a potential point of concern.
