THE HOGINATOR

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THE HOGINATOR” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Samuel Eli Hunt, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on March 5, 2012 and was published for opposition on July 31, 2012, with a Notice of Allowance dated September 25, 2012. The only goods listed are flashlights under class 011, so a similar name used for flashlights or related lighting products would raise the closest concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds any rights, and the record does not give control over the wording in other contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on October 28, 2013. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is that the abandoned mark still exists in the USPTO database and could be cited in future disputes, but it no longer provides enforceable protection.
