What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. The owner listed is Stephen R. DeSena, an individual. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for services in class 035, specifically advertising and business services related to self‑storage facilities and marketing those facilities. A similar name used in the same or closely related field—such as a self‑storage company or a marketing firm for storage—would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “HAPPY,” only over the specified services. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in February 2014, followed by abandonment in October 2014. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces risk, but the specific services listed still present a potential concern if used in the same industry.
