RAY RAG

What this record means

The record shows that the “RAY RAG” application, filed by Frank Goldman as an individual on March 29 2001, was abandoned after an inter partes decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board on September 10 2002, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are clothing items such as bandannas, headbands, hats, t‑shirts, shirts, sweat shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, dresses, ties, scarves, coats, jackets, sweaters, vests, socks, suspenders, cummerbunds, shoes, sandals, wristbands, underwear, belts and gloves, all in International Class 025. A similar name used on any of those apparel products would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses on unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Ray” or “Rag” in any context. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear, and the latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on September 10 2002. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market clothing under a comparable name.
