TAIL-WAGGIN' PAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TAIL‑WAGGIN’ PAL” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Diane Marie Heller, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on July 20, 2009 and was published for opposition on December 8, 2009. It was intended for use on paper goods and printed matter, specifically greeting cards and children’s books. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest area of concern would be any greeting card or children’s book that uses a similar name. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination and publication, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. Since the mark is abandoned, there is no current enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for greeting cards or children’s books, this abandoned record suggests a lower risk, but it does not guarantee freedom to use the name.
