SUN PALS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SUN PALS” is dead and was abandoned by Hart Products, Inc., a corporation organized in Indiana, after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on July 19, 2004 and abandoned on September 23, 2005. It covered the goods “sun catchers and sun ornaments” in class 021, with first use in commerce on June 22, 2004. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does establish a prior claim to that specific combination of words for those particular goods. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in February 2005 followed by abandonment in September 2005, indicating that the examiner had concerns that were not resolved. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “SUN PALS” for sun‑catcher or sun‑ornament products, where the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim in that narrow field.
