BUBBA RAY DUDLEY
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the application for BUBBA RAY DUDLEY is dead – it was abandoned on May 18, 2009 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. The filing covered only International Class 016, which includes paper and cardboard hangtags, packaging materials such as blister cards and paper pouches, collector albums for sticker cards, printed labels, folders, paper tableware, stickers, trading cards, calendars, posters, notebooks, pens, pencils, and related printed matter and promotional brochures about sports entertainment. A similar name used on any of those goods would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope fall farther from the listed coverage. The record does not give WWE control over every possible use of the words “Bubba Ray Dudley.” This was a Principal Register filing; the prosecution history shows the application moved from an intent‑to‑use filing through a Notice of Allowance and then multiple extensions of time for a Statement of Use before the final abandonment. No opposition, cancellation or court action appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording on paper‑based or collectible items similar to those listed.
