BABBOON

What this record means

The record shows that BABBOON is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead”) and that the owner listed is Stuart P. Newcomb, an individual; the cancellation occurred on Oct 11 2013 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered only one class – 025 Clothing – specifically “Clothing, namely, shirts,” with a first use date of Jan 17 2006, so the closest record‑based concern would be any later use of the same or a confusingly similar name on shirts or other apparel. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over the word “babboon” in unrelated goods or services. This mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register; it proceeded through the usual examination, allowance and registration before being cancelled. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a similar name for clothing, especially shirts, but the risk is far lower for unrelated product categories.
