What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SHOW OFF” is dead because the applicant, W.B. Mason Co., Inc., failed to respond to an Office action and the application was abandoned on December 14, 2007. The mark was filed on August 18, 2005 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the principal register and covered furniture, specifically chairs, in class 020. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for furniture or chair products. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, publication for opposition, a notice of allowance, and a statement of use, with no supplemental register involvement. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone looking at a similar name, the main risk is potential confusion with W.B. Mason’s abandoned mark in the furniture category.
