ORIGINAL PEPPERGIRL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ORIGINAL PEPPERGIRL” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Tara Gray, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on February 13, 2014 and the abandonment was finalized on December 17, 2014. It was registered on the Principal Register for classes 14 and 25, covering costume jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and jewelry organizers, as well as a wide range of clothing items including t‑shirts, shirts, sweaters, coats, pants, dresses, skirts, underwear, swimwear, headwear, footwear, tote bags, and handbags. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the jewelry and apparel sectors, especially where the goods are sold under a comparable style or target the same consumer base. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, and no enforcement activity is recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the goods listed still represent the most relevant area of potential concern.
