BIG AIR DOGS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BIG AIR DOGS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is J4 Promotions, Inc., a corporation organized in Wyoming. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for three classes: 016 (paper goods and printed matter related to the organization, promotion and marketing of dog‑jumping competitions), 025 (clothing such as shirts, sweatshirts, caps and jackets for men and women), and 041 (education and entertainment services, including arranging and conducting sports competitions and fan clubs). A similar name would raise the closest concern in those areas, especially where the name is used for dog‑jumping events, related printed materials, apparel, or fan‑club services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows a single Office action in September 2003, followed by abandonment in April 2004; no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods and services still present a potential concern if used in the same fields.
