What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SIMPLY F REVER” is dead, having been abandoned on February 22, 2010 because the applicant, Vaughn LLC, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed as a service mark on August 11, 2008 and was held on the Principal Register. It covered services in class 035, specifically electronic online retail services, online department store services, computerized online ordering services, wholesale and retail distribution of general merchandise and consumer goods, and a website that allows users to post ratings, reviews and recommendations for consumer products, especially jewelry. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the realm of online retail and review services, particularly those involving jewelry or general consumer goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 22, 2010. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific online retail and review services described remain a potential point of concern.
