BE THE GIRL YOU WANNA BE

What this record means

The record shows the mark BE THE GIRL YOU WANNA BE is cancelled; it was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. 2882131) to Lisa Rietveld but the registration was cancelled on April 8, 2011 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The goods listed are limited to items in classes 009, 021 and 028 – things like camera cases, sunglasses, magnets, non‑metal coin banks, tin lunch boxes, plush toys, hobby craft kits and a non‑motorized scooter. A similar name would raise the closest concern only for products that fall within those descriptions; the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in other markets. The prosecution history shows the mark cleared a principal‑register refusal, received a Notice of Allowance in 2003 and was later allowed to register, but no supplemental‑register action appears. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2011, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use the phrase on comparable goods, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated products.
