What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY HOUR IS MY HOUR” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Nicholas Palomba, did not file a Statement of Use or an extension request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on April 14, 2011 and was published for opposition on August 23, 2011, with a Notice of Allowance on October 18, 2011. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering hats, shirts, and shoes. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does create a close concern for any new mark that includes the same phrase on similar apparel. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the identical wording on clothing could still raise a concern if used in the same class.
