LITTLE BLOOMERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “LITTLE BLOOMERS” is dead, having been abandoned by Summit Industries, Inc., a Georgia corporation, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance issued on July 21 2015. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 016, covering paper baby bibs and burp pads. Because the goods are specific to paper baby accessories, a similar name used for unrelated products would present a farther concern, while a name used for other paper baby items would raise a closer concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer controls the mark, but the record does not grant anyone unrestricted use of the wording. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 22 2016. If you’re thinking of a similar name, be aware that the abandoned status removes the legal protection, yet the specific goods listed still represent the closest area of concern.
