What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SHOW OFF” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Coty France (Société par actions simplifiée). The application was filed under the Madrid Protocol on September 16, 2011, and the mark was refused and later cancelled in the U.S. principal register. The only goods listed were cosmetics, specifically mascara, in class 003. Because the mark was cancelled, it no longer controls any use of the wording in the United States, but the record still indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for cosmetics and cleaning products, especially mascara. The prosecution history shows a refusal by the examining unit and a subsequent request for transformation that was never filed, leading to abandonment. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on August 24, 2012. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer active, the specific cosmetics context remains a potential point of concern.
