FACEBOOK BOY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK BOY” is dead; it was abandoned on April 25, 2013 because the applicant, Guanghui Xue, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on June 11, 2012 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was listed on the Principal Register for class 025, which covers a wide range of clothing items such as bathing suits, belts, athletic wear, pajamas, jackets, and footwear for men and women. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel and clothing sector, especially where the goods are marketed as athletic or casual wear. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Facebook” or “Boy” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice in April 2013. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration to conflict with, but the goods listed in class 025 still represent a potential area of concern if the new name is used for comparable apparel.
