SPORTY BX

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY BX” is an abandoned application, marked dead after the applicant, Cabot Safety Intermediate Corporation, failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated December 9 2004. The filing was for protective eyewear under International Class 009, so the closest area of concern would be any other brand using “SPORTY BX” for similar eye‑protection or related safety equipment. The record does not give Cabot control over the words in unrelated product categories, and it does not appear on the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on December 9 2004, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are listed. The prosecution history shows only the examiner’s non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment, with no oppositions, cancellations or court actions recorded. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “SPORTY BX” for eyewear or similar safety gear, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
