JUST BECAUSE I'M ISLAMIC

What this record means

The record shows the application for “JUST BECAUSE I’M ISLAMIC” is dead – it was abandoned on Aug. 20, 2002 after the applicant filed an express abandonment, and the owner listed is Wayde Jeffery Davis, an individual. The filing covered only class 025, specifically “clothing, namely tee‑shirts,” with a first use date of Sep. 21, 2001. Because the registration was limited to that narrow apparel description, a similar phrase used for anything other than tee‑shirts would be the farthest concern from the record’s scope; however, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words. There is no indication that the mark ever reached the Supplemental Register, and the prosecution history simply reflects the examiner’s assignment, a non‑final action, and the final abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment on Aug. 20, 2002, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market tee‑shirts under a comparable name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
