What this record means
The record shows that the mark “RUFFLEBUM BLOOMERS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Deborah Wellek Wolkstein, an individual. The mark was filed on May 6 2007 under the intent‑to‑use basis for clothing and clothing accessories, specifically bloomers, shorts, leggings, and related accessories in class 025. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context, but the record indicates that a similar name used for comparable clothing items would raise the closest concern. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in August 2007 and eventual abandonment in March 2008, with no subsequent maintenance or enforcement actions recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, the owner has not demonstrated any recent use or protection of the mark. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the name is used for similar clothing items, but the abandoned status means the owner’s claim is currently inactive.
