What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY HARDCORE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on August 20 2021 because the owner, Derrick W. Huey of a sole proprietorship organized in California, did not file a required declaration under Section 8. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on January 13 2015 for hats, sweatshirts, and t‑shirts, all clothing items. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel sector, especially for headwear and casual wear. This cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the history only reflects the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and ultimately registered before the cancellation. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied record, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the apparel‑related concern remains if the new use is in the same or related categories.
