MAKING FINE DESIGN AFFORDABLE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MAKING FINE DESIGN AFFORDABLE” was abandoned in 2007 because the owner, Harvey Lewis Designs LLC, failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered; it remains a dead application on the Principal Register. The goods listed in the application are a wide range of decorative and gift items, including candles, metal money banks, flatware, precious‑metal accessories, paper goods, leather products, mirrors, and Christmas ornaments. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same categories—especially decorative gift items and metal accessories—because those are the goods the record specifically covers. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the usual sequence of publication, amendment, and allowance, but no supplemental registration. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not enforceable, but the goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use overlaps those categories.
