SPORTY COUTURE

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY COUTURE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the final abandonment notice dated June 29 2010, and the owner listed as Prabu Sivagurunathan, an individual. The filing covered only Class 025 clothing, specifically items such as pants, shirts, dresses, jackets, footwear and related accessories. Because the protection was limited to those apparel goods, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown here, though a name used on clothing could raise a direct concern. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over every use of the words “Sporty Couture.” No opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand clothing under a comparable name.
