SPORTY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SPORTY was abandoned, so it is not live or registered, and the applicant listed was Henkel KGaA, a partnership limited by shares organized in Germany. The only goods shown are “hair care preparations” in International Class 3, which means the closest area of concern would be any other hair‑care product using the word SPORTY. The record does not give Henkel control over every possible use of the word, only over the specific hair‑care category listed. The prosecution history indicates the application was filed on Feb 3 2006, received a non‑final office action in June 2006, and then an abandonment notice was mailed on Jan 3 2007 after the applicant failed to respond, leading to the abandonment status dated Jan 2 2007. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a hair‑care brand with the same name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated product lines.
