FAITH

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FAITH” was abandoned on November 02, 2009 by owner Marsha J. Hibbs, a sole proprietorship organized in Tennessee. The application was for athletic apparel—shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps, and athletic uniforms—under class 025. Because the mark was never allowed or registered, it does not grant control over the word “FAITH” in any context. The closest concern would arise if you used the name for similar athletic clothing or related apparel, since that is the only goods area listed. The prosecution history indicates a standard examination: the examiner approved the mark for publication, the applicant was notified, and a notice of allowance was issued, but the applicant failed to file a statement of use, leading to abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration to infringe, but the record still signals that the owner once sought protection for athletic apparel, so using the name in that space could raise a closer concern.
