SPORTY K9

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY K9” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by Sporty K9, Ltd., a New York corporation, and it was cancelled on May 15 2015 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered pet‑related items – specifically pet apparel and accessories such as bandanas, hats, clothing, leashes and collars (class 018), pet feeding dishes and vessels (class 021), pet feeding mats (class 027) and pet toys (class 028). A similar name used for any of those kinds of pet products would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Sporty” or “K9.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from application to registration and then to cancellation. The only notable status event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark for pet apparel or accessories that resembles “Sporty K9.”
