THE PENNY PIG

What this record means

The record shows that “THE PENNY PIG” was registered on the Supplemental Register on May 4 2010 but was cancelled on December 9 2016 because the registrant, Missy Enterprises, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered non‑metal piggy banks, specifically a non‑metal container for receiving and storing paper money, coins, and other small items. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products that are non‑metal piggy banks or similar money‑storage containers. The Supplemental Register status means the mark was not deemed distinctive enough for the Principal Register, and the prosecution history shows a refusal for descriptiveness followed by an amendment and registration on the Supplemental Register. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in December 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a notable risk of confusion for non‑metal piggy banks, but it does not imply control over all uses of the wording.
