SOCK IT TO ME

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO ME” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Sock It To Me, Inc., a corporation organized in Oregon. The mark was applied for on March 10 2008 and was abandoned on December 14 2010 after the applicant failed to respond to office actions. The only goods listed are socks and stockings, class 025, first used in commerce on October 1 2004. Because the mark covers a narrow category of apparel, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a farther concern, while a name used for socks or related apparel would raise the closest record‑based issue. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific socks and stockings scope remains a potential point of concern if the name is used in that market.
