SPORTY CLAUS
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “SPORTY CLAUS” is no longer active – it was cancelled on Nov 2 2018 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO lists the owner as Ken Neeld, an individual. The registration covered only one class (020) and was limited to “customized and painted plastic molded figures of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus,” so a similar name used for those exact types of figurines would be the closest record‑based concern; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the normal filing, allowance and later cancellation steps, without any supplemental‑register nuance. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable figurine line, but the record does not extend to other goods or services.
