JUST BECAUSE IT'S SCIENCE FICTION DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE

What this record means

The record shows the application for “JUST BECAUSE IT'S SCIENCE FICTION DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT TRUE” is abandoned, so it is not a live registration, and the owner listed is Michael Hunt as an individual. The filing covered books in the field of science fiction (Class 016) and a range of clothing items such as hats, jackets, shirts, shoes and t‑shirts (Class 025); a similar name used on those types of books or apparel would be the closest area of concern. Because the mark never issued a registration, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the application was approved for publication on the Principal Register, received a Notice of Allowance on July 3 2012, but was abandoned on February 4 2013 after no Statement of Use was filed. The supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the phrase for sci‑fi books or related clothing, but the risk is limited to those specific goods.
