What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GIVE ME LIBERTY, NOT HILLARY” was abandoned on January 7, 2016, after the applicant, Luis Puig, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was never registered and therefore does not give the owner exclusive rights to the wording. The application covered paper goods and printed matter, specifically banners of paper, bumper stickers, decals and stickers for home decor, decorative stickers for helmets and shoe soles, magnetic bumper stickers, and paper banners. Because the abandoned filing was for these specific goods, a similar name used on unrelated products would present a farther concern, while use on paper banners or bumper stickers would be closer to the record. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest event is the abandonment notice. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific goods listed, but the abandoned status means the owner has no active claim over the wording.
