DRESS IT UP

What this record means

The record shows that “DRESS IT UP” is a dead mark that was abandoned by owner Richard Davis after the USPTO issued a Notice of Allowance on January 17, 2006. The mark was never used in commerce and the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request, so the abandonment was finalized on January 18, 2007. The goods listed are kitchen cutlery such as forks, spoons, slicers, pizza cutters and zesters; greeting cards; and salad dressings, seasonings and sauces used as condiments. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same categories, especially kitchen utensils and condiments, because that is where the mark’s scope is shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration to conflict with, but the goods listed still represent the most relevant area of potential concern.
