ROB

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ROB was abandoned, so it is not live or registered, and the listed owner is RDC Creative LLC, a sole proprietorship organized in New York. The application covered only Class 025 clothing – specifically T‑shirts, hats and sweatshirts – with a first use date of August 2 2013 and a use‑in‑commerce date of March 2 2015. Because the filing was for apparel, a similar name used on clothing would present the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ROB.” The prosecution history indicates the USPTO issued a non‑final action in April 2016, but the applicant failed to respond, leading to an abandonment notice on December 3 2016 and the final abandonment on December 5 2016; no later maintenance events appear. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand clothing with the same name, since the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that market.
