A RAY OF HOPE SHINES FOREVER

What this record means

The record shows that “A RAY OF HOPE SHINES FOREVER” is a live Principal Register trademark owned by A Ray Of Hope Shines Forever, a Delaware corporation, and it is currently registered for clothing – specifically bandanas, hats and shirts – with a first use date of January 12 2016. Because the registration is limited to those apparel items, a similar name used on unrelated goods such as food, software or services would be a more distant concern, while another clothing brand using the same phrase would raise the closest record‑based issue. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of a Section 8 declaration on June 24 2022, confirming the mark’s continued validity; no future deadline is listed. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market apparel under a comparable name.
