What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BY OWNER” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal. The owner listed is Greg Sullivan, an individual, and the mark was filed on November 17, 2015 under the intent‑to‑use basis for class 035, which covers advertising and business services such as preparing and placing advertisements in an electronic magazine accessed through a global computer network. Because the mark was never allowed, it does not confer control over the wording in any class. The prosecution history indicates a refusal, a statement of use, and eventual abandonment, but no supplemental register activity. The last significant event was the abandonment notice mailed on May 4, 2017. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “BY OWNER” in advertising or business services, and the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording, though other rights could still exist.
