What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TAIL WAGGIN' GOOD” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Howie’s Hearts, a corporation organized in Massachusetts, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 28, 2010 and the abandonment notice was mailed on September 8, 2011. The only goods listed are pet treats, with first use in January 2010 and use in commerce by February 2010. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in February 2011 and no further examination or registration. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for pet treats, this abandoned record suggests a modest concern, but it does not preclude other uses outside that specific product line.
