What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FAT DAN'S BBQ NEVER TRUST A SKINNY COOK BBQ BURGERS AND BEER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Fat Dan's BBQ, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Texas. The mark was filed on August 11, 2010, under the intent‑to‑use basis for class 043, which covers restaurant and bar services. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the specific phrase remains a potential concern for businesses offering similar restaurant or bar services. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in November 2010 and an abandonment notice in July 2011, with no subsequent enforcement activity recorded. For a new business considering a similar name in the restaurant or bar sector, the abandoned status reduces the risk, yet the exact wording could still raise a close record‑based concern in that industry.
