KEEP IT REAL
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “KEEP IT REAL” is no longer active – it was cancelled on Dec 18 2015 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is James C. Hash, Jr. The registration covered only clothing (class 025), specifically caps, tops and shirts, so a similar phrase used for apparel would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “keep it real.” This was a Principal Register registration, not a Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history simply reflects the normal examination and eventual cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a clothing brand with the same wording.
