GROOVE HOOB
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “GROOVE HOOB” is an abandoned application (status dead) owned by Jim Henson Company, Inc., and it never entered the register because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The filing covered a range of goods and services: video recordings and DVDs of children’s puppetry and educational content, CD‑ROM games and video‑game cartridges (Class 009); a variety of children’s books, party supplies, greeting cards, pens, crayons and gift‑wrapping paper (Class 016); children’s clothing such as shirts, pajamas, rainwear and shoes (Class 025); toys and sporting goods including plush toys, puzzles, balloons and costume accessories (Class 028); and entertainment services that provide an ongoing television program with puppets and educational information, both on TV and online (Class 041). A similar name used in any of those areas would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “groove” or “hoob.” The prosecution history shows the application proceeded to a Notice of Allowance in December 2001, then received a series of extensions for filing a Statement of Use before finally being abandoned in March 2005, with the last status update recorded on December 12 2004. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark that touches children’s media, toys, clothing or related entertainment services.
