HYPHEN

What this record means

The record shows that the “HYPHEN” application is dead – it was abandoned on April 24, 2017 because the owner never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and no extension was later submitted. The owner listed is Happiness Glue, LLC, a Nevada limited‑liability company. The filing covered Class 025 clothing (shirts, sweatshirts and hats) and Class 028 toys (bobble‑head dolls, plush dolls, puppets and ventriloquist’s dummies), so a later use of “Hyphen” in those same categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word in unrelated goods or services. This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply tracks the series of extensions that were eventually left unused. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on April 24, 2017, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market clothing or toys under a similar name.
