LOONEY BEAN

What this record means

The record shows that “LOONEY BEAN” is an abandoned service mark, filed by Brent Kennedy as an individual on Jan 29 2002 and abandoned on Mar 24 2003 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 035 and cover ground and whole bean coffee, tea, cocoa, coffee‑espresso‑and‑tea beverages, baked goods, vanilla bean baked products, coffee and tea appliances, hot chocolate products, and related merchandise such as T‑shirts, cups, mugs and sweatshirts. A similar name used for any of those coffee‑related foods, drinks or related apparel would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that scope are farther from the listed area. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Looney Bean.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on Mar 24 2003, and the prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on Jul 30 2002 followed by the abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market coffee‑type products under a similar name.
