SECUREKLIP

What this record means

The record shows that SECUREKLIP is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by RC Group, Inc.; the registration was cancelled on May 16, 2014 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The only goods listed are “hanging devices, namely, plastic hooks for hanging purses, bags, and other items” in International Class 020, so a later use of SECUREKLIP for similar plastic hooks or related hanging accessories would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word SECUREKLIP in unrelated product categories. There is no Supplemental Register activity, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable hook product, but the risk is limited to the narrow goods described.
