THE NAME THAT'S KNOWN

What this record means

The record shows the mark “THE NAME THAT'S KNOWN” is abandoned; the USPTO listed it as dead after the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated December 13 2006. The owner listed is BFS Brands, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company. The registration covered vehicle tires (class 012), advertising and marketing services that promote tires and automotive services, retail stores selling automobile tires and parts (class 035), automotive maintenance and repair (class 037), and automotive diagnostic and inspection services (class 042). A similar name used in any of those automotive‑related areas would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give BFS Brands control over every possible use of the wording in any field. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the tire or automotive service space, because the abandoned filing still signals prior intent to claim those goods and services.
