HAPPY
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY” was abandoned on April 23 2018 because the owner, 99 CENTS ONLY STORES LLC, failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered and is not live. It was applied as a service mark for advertising and business services related to discount retail store services featuring a wide range of paper and plastic party supplies, decorations, and related items. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same area of party‑supplies retail and advertising services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “HAPPY.” The prosecution history shows a series of extension requests and eventual abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement actions. For anyone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the owner has not maintained the mark, but the specific goods and services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
