SHOW OFF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SHOW OFF” was registered on the Principal Register on May 3 2016 for cosmetics, specifically mascara, under class 3, but the registration was cancelled on November 18 2022 because the owner, COTY BEAUTY GERMANY GMBH, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights in that specific class. The goods listed—mascara cosmetics—are the narrow scope of concern; a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the record’s scope, but the record does not prove freedom for all uses of the wording. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of publication, opposition, and allowance, with no indication of a Supplemental Register. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear beyond the Section 8 cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used for cosmetics, especially mascara, but the risk is less clear for unrelated goods.
