What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PUT A SOCK IN IT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on March 29 2024 because the owner, PUT A SOCK IN IT FOR CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in September 2017 for class 045, covering charitable services that provide clothing to needy persons. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the charitable services field, especially where the goods or services involve clothing or assistance to those in need. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase, only over that specific charitable service scope. The prosecution history shows a standard examination and publication sequence, with no Supplemental Register activity. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the charitable services scope remains a potential point of concern.
