BECAUSE I LIKE IT
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BECAUSE I LIKE IT” was registered on the Principal Register in December 2008 but was cancelled in July 2019 because the owner, Geraldine M. Schroeder, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The goods listed in class 035 cover a wide range of advertising and business services, including shop‑at‑home parties, accessories for home and fashion, gift items, and various promotional materials. A similar name used in these or closely related services would raise the closest concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides protection, but the record does not mean the wording is free for all uses; other rights could exist. The latest maintenance event was the cancellation in July 2019, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or court cases appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in the advertising and business services area, but the mark is no longer active.
