GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GETTING BETTER ALL THE TIME” was abandoned on January 5, 2008 because the applicant, WINN‑DIXIE STORES, INC., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was never registered and is therefore not live. It covered goods in class 016—paper goods and printed matter such as business cards, calendars, and posters—and services in class 035—advertising, marketing, and retail services for drug stores, florists, grocery stores, and pharmacies. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses dealing with printed advertising materials or retail marketing services, but the abandonment means the owner has no enforceable rights over the wording. The prosecution history shows a standard Office action and late response sequence, with no supplemental register involvement. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces risk, but the goods and services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
