JUST BECAUSE

What this record means

The record shows that “JUST BECAUSE” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark, filed by Wayde Jeffery Davis as an individual and originally registered on April 1 2003 for clothing – specifically tee‑shirts – in International Class 025, but the registration was cancelled on November 7 2009 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The goods listed are limited to tee‑shirts, so a later use of the same wording on apparel would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products would fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “JUST BECAUSE.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal examination and registration steps before the eventual cancellation. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2009, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond that, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for clothing, but the risk is lower for other categories.
