JACK

What this record means

The record shows that the “JACK” application filed by USF Collections Inc., a New York corporation, was abandoned on July 20 2005 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are apparel—boys’ and men’s shirts, t‑shirts, shorts, pants, boxers and sleepwear—so a later user of “JACK” for clothing would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the filing was on the Principal Register but never issued, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “JACK.” The prosecution history notes a non‑final action in November 2004 and the abandonment notice in July 2005, which are the latest meaningful status events, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name on clothing, but the risk is limited to the specific apparel goods listed.
