CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, TRI Brands, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on August 24 2012 and published for opposition on May 21 2013, with a Notice of Allowance issued July 16 2013. It was registered on the Principal Register in class 009 for reflective and illuminated safety clothing, reflective mirrors, embroidered reflective patches, helmet skirts, and reflective safety bands. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services that fall within that safety apparel and equipment scope. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified goods. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on February 17 2014. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim in the safety apparel area, so caution is advised when using the phrase for related products.
