What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PIN IT PALS ALPHABET PINS” was abandoned by its owner, Pin Pals, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance issued on December 6, 2016. The mark was held on the Principal Register and covered lapel pins and ornamental lapel pins. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of lapel or ornamental pins, because that is the only goods category listed. The abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration for those pins. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on July 10, 2017. If you’re thinking of a similar name for pins, consider that the record indicates a potential concern in that specific product line.
