FOR THE LOVE OF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FOR THE LOVE OF” was abandoned on July 29, 2011, because the applicant, James Donald Blomberg, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on September 12, 2010 under the intent‑to‑use basis and was listed on the Principal Register. The goods covered were a broad range of clothing items, including socks, ankle socks, anklets, anti‑perspirant socks, apparel for dancers, ballet shoes, bath slippers, children’s jumpers, dance shoes, disposable slippers, flip flops, heels, leggings, maternity leggings, leather shoes, leg warmers, and many other apparel and footwear items. A similar name would create the closest concern in the apparel and footwear categories, especially for novelty or dance‑related clothing. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned application. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in December 2010 followed by abandonment in July 2011, with no enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration, but the goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the name is used in those categories.
