What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SHOW OFF” is dead and was abandoned by BYER CALIFORNIA, a corporation organized in California. The mark was filed on June 10 2005 on an intent‑to‑use basis for clothing, specifically dresses, skirts, blouses, skorts, shorts, shirts, pants, jackets, sweaters, vests and jumpsuits. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does mean that a new application for the same or a similar name in the same class would face a potential conflict. The prosecution history shows that after publication the applicant repeatedly filed extensions of time to file a statement of use, but ultimately no use statement was filed and the mark was abandoned on June 22 2009. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in the clothing field, this record suggests a meaningful concern, especially for apparel that matches the listed goods.
