SOFT N DRY

What this record means

The record shows that “SOFT N DRY” is an abandoned application (status “dead”) owned by ORTHOFEET, INC., a Delaware corporation, and it never reached registration on the Principal Register; the abandonment notice was mailed on March 12, 2010 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action. The filing, made May 24, 2009, listed goods in International Class 025 covering a wide range of footwear and related apparel such as ankle socks, athletic shoes, golf shoes, shoe inserts, and various types of shoes and socks, so a similar name used on any of those items would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give ORTHOFEET control over every possible use of the words “soft” or “dry” outside those listed goods. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the office‑action and subsequent abandonment. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand footwear or sock products with a similar name.
