SOCK IT TO BREAST CANCER!

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO BREAST CANCER!” was registered on the Principal Register in 2003 but was cancelled under Section 18 by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board on November 13, 2019. The owner listed is Breast Cancer Survival Center, Inc., a corporation organized in Connecticut. The registration covered a narrow range of clothing items—socks, t‑shirts, hats, underwear, neckties, visors, mittens, shirts, shorts, pants, sweatshirts, pajamas, and clothing accessories such as scarves—all marketed to promote breast cancer awareness. Because the goods are specifically clothing, a similar name used on apparel that promotes breast cancer awareness would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers exclusive rights, and the record does not establish control over every use of the wording. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 18 event appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the specific clothing context still represents the most relevant area of concern.
