SPORTY U.

What this record means

The record shows that SPORTY U., L.L.C.’s mark “SPORTY U.” is cancelled – the registration was voided on March 18 2016 because the owner failed to file a proper Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO lists the mark as “Dead · Cancelled.” The registration covered only Class 025 clothing, specifically baseball caps, hats, shirts, shorts, skirts, sports bras, sweat pants, sweat shirts, T‑shirts and tank‑tops, with a first use date of May 5 2009. Because the protection was limited to those apparel items, a similar name used for unrelated goods—say, software or food—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Sporty U.” The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2016; no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement action appears in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market clothing under a comparable name, since the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that product area.
