What this record means
The record shows that the “MEAN” mark, owned by NAEM DENIM COMPANY INC., was registered on the Principal Register for clothing (denim jackets, denims, jackets, jeans, pants, shirts, shorts, skirts, T‑shirts, tops and vests) but was cancelled on August 9 2019 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the registration is no longer live. The listed goods focus exclusively on apparel, meaning a similar name used for clothing would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “MEAN.” No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the prosecution history contains only routine filings and the final cancellation; there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions noted. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for any new clothing brand that wants a name close to “MEAN.”
