BUBBA RAY DUDLEY
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “BUBBA RAY DUDLEY” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on May 11 2009 after the owner, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The filing covered only Class 025 clothing and related accessories, specifically items such as tank tops, shirts, jackets, shoes, hats and costume pieces. Because the registration never matured, the record does not give WWE control over every use of the words “BUBBA RAY DUDLEY,” but it does indicate a closer area of concern for anyone planning to use that name on similar apparel or fashion accessories. The prosecution history contains no refusals, amendments or enforcement actions, and the supplied history shows no oppositions or cancellations. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you intend to brand clothing with the same name, since the abandoned filing still signals WWE’s past interest in that wording for apparel.
