POWER IN THE CLUTCH

What this record means

The record shows that “POWER IN THE CLUTCH” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Ampco Partners, Ltd., a limited partnership organized in Texas. It protects hand tools, specifically hammers and sledge hammers, first used in commerce on March 4 2016. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any business dealing with those same types of hand tools, because the goods listed are the narrow scope of protection. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase in other contexts. The mark’s most recent status event was the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on July 12 2023, confirming its continued registration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the owner has not demonstrated enforcement activity. For anyone looking to use a comparable name, the risk is that the mark could be enforceable for hand tools, but it does not block use in unrelated industries.
