JUST BECAUSE

What this record means

The record shows that “JUST BECAUSE” is an abandoned Principal Register application owned by Paul Dangler, an individual, and it has been dead since the abandonment notice was mailed on July 11 2014 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final Office action. The only goods listed are in International Class 014 and cover a range of jewelry items such as body jewelry, bracelets, charms, rings, pins, brooches, necklaces, anklets, crosses and other gemstone or diamond pieces. Because the filing is limited to jewelry, a similar name used for unrelated products—say clothing, food or software—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record still reflects a claim to the wording in the jewelry context. The prosecution history shows a series of suspension notices and a non‑final action in late 2013, culminating in the abandonment in mid‑2014; no enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a jewelry brand with the same wording, but the risk drops for other categories.
