SPORTY K9

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY K9” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Sporty K9, Ltd., failed to file a required Statement of Use, and an abandonment notice was mailed on Nov 14 2011. The filing covered only class 020, specifically “Dog beds,” so the closest record‑based concern would be anyone trying to use a similar name for dog‑related bedding or furniture. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “sporty” or “K9” in other product categories. This was a standard Principal Register filing; the prosecution history shows a series of extensions for the Statement of Use before the final abandonment, but no supplemental‑register action is noted. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name for dog‑bed products, but the risk is limited to that narrow goods area.
