What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DRESS IT UP!” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The owner listed is Richard E. Davis, MD, an individual. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for classes 029 and 030, covering salad oils, salad dressings, sauces, condiments such as relish, and other staple foods. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the food and condiment sector, especially where salad dressings or sauces are sold. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the phrase, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on November 23, 2002. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark’s prior registration in these food categories could still be cited as a potential conflict.
