What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MAKE IT POP” is no longer live; it was cancelled on August 11 2023 because the owner, DHX Media (Toronto) Ltd., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on January 31 2017 for the single class 028, covering dolls. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer provides enforceable protection, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed rights to that wording for dolls. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of dolls, as that is the only goods category listed. The record does not show any opposition, cancellation after publication, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event was the cancellation in August 2023. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the prior registration for dolls remains a potential point of concern if the name is used for similar goods.
