JUST BECAUSE

What this record means

The record shows that “JUST BECAUSE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer a non‑final Office action, with the abandonment notice dated September 17 2007 and the owner listed as Smell The World LLC, a Nevada limited‑liability company. The filing covered only Class 003 goods, specifically bath foams, gels, milks, oils, body creams, lotions, eau de cologne, essential oils for personal use, hair conditioners, perfume oils, perfumes, shampoos and shower gels, all first used in commerce on July 14 2006. Because the registration never issued and was limited to those personal‑care products, the record does not give the owner control over the phrase “JUST BECAUSE” in other categories, though a similar name on cosmetics or fragrance items would raise the closest concern. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in February 2007 followed by abandonment in September 2007, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use the same wording for similar bath‑ and beauty‑care products.
