SPORTY SHAPES

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY SHAPES” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Dayhoff, LLC, a Florida limited‑liability company, and it is no longer live after the registration was cancelled on Oct 5 2012 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered Class 029 goods described as “fruit snacks, namely, fruit‑based snack foods,” so a similar name used on any fruit‑based snack would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Dayhoff, LLC control over every possible use of the words “sporty shapes” in other categories. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, registered on Feb 28 2006, and later cancelled for the Section 8 maintenance failure; there are no listed oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat the cancellation as a meaningful signal that the mark no longer blocks new fruit‑snack uses, but the historic claim on fruit snacks still suggests a notable risk if you plan a similar name in that market.
