STICK IT WITH WATER

What this record means

The record shows that “STICK IT WITH WATER” is a dead, abandoned application that never reached registration. The owner listed is W.M. Barr & Company, Inc., a corporation organized in Tennessee, and the mark was filed on February 21, 2013 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods described are adhesion promoters, pre‑treatment agents, and cleaning products for a wide range of automotive and marine surfaces, including vehicle bodies, engines, and trailers. Because the mark was never registered, it does not grant exclusive rights to the wording across all uses, but the specific description of automotive and marine surface treatments is the closest area of concern. The prosecution history shows that the application was abandoned on January 13, 2014 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final action. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the wording could be viewed as too close to a previously abandoned mark in the same product category, even though the mark itself has no active protection.
