What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WAGGING TAILS GOURMET DOG COOKIES” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, APPM50, a limited liability company organized in New York, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on January 11, 2013 and the abandonment notice was mailed and effective on December 2, 2013. The goods listed are dog treats, specifically “Dog treats” under class 031, with first use in commerce on May 1, 2011. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context, but the closest concern would arise for any new dog‑treat product that uses a similar name. The prosecution history shows a standard non‑final action and subsequent abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific dog‑treat scope remains the most relevant area of concern.
