A HERO CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS

What this record means

The record shows the application for “A HERO CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS” is dead – it was abandoned on February 6 2004 because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and no extension was requested. The owner listed is L.J. HEART & ASSOCIATES, Inc., a California corporation. The registration, had it survived, covered paper goods and printed matter – specifically entertainment materials such as romance novels, book covers, calendars, photographs and posters – so a similar name used on those types of products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the phrase in other categories. This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval for publication to a notice that a Statement of Use was required, ending in abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording for romance‑related printed materials.
