JUST BECAUSE

What this record means

The record shows that the “JUST BECAUSE” application is dead, having been abandoned on April 12 2007 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Art D. Moreno, a California corporation. The filing covered trucks (class 012), paper advertising signs, business cards and forms (class 016), various apparel such as baseball caps, beanies, t‑shirts and women’s underwear (class 025), and internet‑based advertising and slogan licensing services (class 035). A similar name used for any of those goods or services would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “JUST BECAUSE.” No supplemental register is involved; the prosecution history simply shows a non‑final action in September 2006 followed by abandonment in April 2007. The supplied history contains no indication of oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “JUST BECAUSE” for trucks, paper advertising, apparel or online advertising services.
