SMILE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SMILE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on October 20, 2023 because the owner, Enlightened Little Souls, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in April 2013 for the specific goods of skin cleansers used to remove adhesives, adhesive residue, tapes and bandages. A similar name used for those same or closely related products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SMILE”; it applies only to the listed cosmetics and cleaning goods. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed and registered without any supplemental register steps. The latest maintenance event was the cancellation in October 2023. No oppositions, extensions of time to oppose, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if used in the same category.
