CLOSE ENOUGH

What this record means

The record shows that the “CLOSE ENOUGH” application is dead, having been abandoned on March 26 2004 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Hal Harrison, an individual. The only goods covered are “horological instruments, namely, clocks, watches” in International Class 014, so a later use of the same wording on time‑keeping devices would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated categories such as software or apparel would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “CLOSE ENOUGH.” The prosecution history shows a series of extensions for filing a Statement of Use before the final abandonment, but no registration was ever granted. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on May 14 2004, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for clocks or watches.
