What this record means
The record shows that “B BELOW THE BRIM” was registered on the Principal Register on May 13 2008 but was cancelled on December 19 2014 because the owner, Joseph W. Brim II, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered a range of clothing items—hats, pants, shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and related headgear—under class 025. A similar name used for those same types of apparel would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers exclusive rights, but the record does not prove that no other rights exist for the wording. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2014. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion for apparel items, but the mark is no longer active.
