What this record means
The record shows that the mark “B BRIM SHADE.COM” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Starboard Innovations Inc., a corporation organized in Canada. The mark was filed on March 26, 2007 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 009 goods of sunglasses accessories, specifically sun shades used with hats. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of sun‑shade accessories for hats. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a long suspension period and eventual abandonment, with no indication of registration on the Supplemental Register. The latest event is the abandonment notice mailed on December 19, 2011. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if used in the same niche.
