SOCK IT TO ME... SOCKS & SUCH

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO ME… SOCKS & SUCH” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Vaclavicek, Renee, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on August 19, 2010 and abandoned on July 26, 2011. It was a service mark on the Principal Register, covering retail store services that feature socks and hosiery, specifically advertising and business services in class 035. Because the mark was abandoned, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any context. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of a non‑final action and a pseudo‑mark notice, but the abandonment means no further examination or registration occurred. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same retail and advertising context for socks and hosiery, but the abandoned status suggests the risk is lower than for an active mark.
