IT MUST BE LOVE

What this record means

The record shows that “IT MUST BE LOVE” was registered on the Principal Register on March 9, 2010, but the registration was cancelled on October 14, 2016 because the United States Tennis Association Incorporated failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered clothing such as shirts, pants, jackets, hats, and socks under class 025, so a similar name used on comparable apparel would raise the closest concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but the record does not remove any potential rights that might exist in other classes or jurisdictions. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2016, and no further maintenance dates are listed. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific apparel scope still represents a potential concern if the name is used on similar goods.
