SOCK IT TO ME

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO ME” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Cabot Hosiery Mills, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after receiving a Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on September 5, 2002, published for opposition on April 15, 2003, and allowed on July 8, 2003, but was abandoned on May 27, 2004. It was registered on the Principal Register in class 025 for socks. This history indicates that the owner’s claim is limited to socks, so a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a farther concern, though the exact wording is still protected for socks. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied record. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment in May 2004. If you are thinking of using a similar name for socks, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
