OSCAR THE BASSETT HOUND

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “OSCAR THE BASSETT HOUND” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is Harold Levine, an individual, and the mark was filed on September 2, 2003 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered are clothing, specifically items such as T‑shirts, sweatshirts, sport shirts, socks, caps, hats, underwear, shorts, trousers, baseball caps, gloves, clothing ties, head bands, blouses, skirts, dresses, pedal pushers, scarves and tank tops. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the closest concern would arise if a similar name were used on apparel in those categories. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the wording outside that apparel scope. The prosecution history shows a Notice of Allowance on August 17, 2004, followed by a Statement of Use extension granted in March 2005, but no use statement was ever filed, leading to abandonment on October 17, 2005. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the specific apparel goods remain a potential area of concern if the name is used on similar clothing items.
