KATIE BROWN KEEPING IT SIMPLE...AT MEIJER
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “KATIE BROWN KEEPING IT SIMPLE…AT MEIJER” is dead, having been abandoned by Meijer, Inc., a Michigan corporation, because the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance on July 20 2010. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered a wide range of goods, including candles, patio torches, cutlery, electric blankets, lamps, patio umbrellas, garden stones, furniture, kitchenware, and various household items. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in any of those categories, especially items sold in retail or home‑goods settings. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the history, so the supplied record shows no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 22 2011. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the broad goods list still suggests a potential concern if the new use overlaps those categories.
