SPORTY SHORTY

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY SHORTY” is a live Principal Register registration owned by SKECHERS U.S.A., INC. II, covering footwear in International Class 025; the filing dates back to September 9 2009 and the mark was registered on July 13 2010. Because the registration is limited to footwear, a similar name used on shoes or related apparel would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown in the record. The record does not give SKECHERS control over every possible use of the words “sporty shorty” in all contexts. The most recent meaningful event is the June 4 2020 acceptance of the Section 8 (ten‑year) renewal, confirming the mark’s continued active status. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a footwear brand with a similar name, but the risk is lower for dissimilar product lines.
