BABY BOWS

What this record means

The record shows that “BABY BOWS” was registered on the Principal Register on November 7, 1972, but the registration was cancelled on January 6, 1981 because the registrant, Metaframe Corporation, failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The mark is therefore dead and no longer enforceable under USPTO rules. The goods or services listed in the original filing are not provided in the record, so the only visible concern is that the mark was once protected for whatever goods or services were claimed at the time of registration. Because the mark is cancelled, the owner no longer holds exclusive rights to the wording, but the history indicates that the name had been considered distinctive enough to register. There is no evidence of opposition, cancellation after publication, or other enforcement activity in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests that the name is no longer protected, but the absence of a current registration does not guarantee freedom to use the wording in all contexts.
