SOCK IT TO ME

What this record means

The record shows that “SOCK IT TO ME” was registered on the Principal Register in 2004 but was cancelled in 2010 because the owner, Guthy‑Renker Corporation, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered a series of pre‑recorded video cassettes featuring a television show, specifically listed under class 009 for electrical and scientific apparatus. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same or closely related media and entertainment products, but the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights in that specific class. The history shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action beyond the Section 8 cancellation, so there is no visible enforcement activity. Because the mark is dead, the risk of infringement is lower, yet the name could still be problematic for similar video or media goods, and the record does not preclude other owners from claiming rights in unrelated areas.
