ECOLONE HANDMADE SOAPS

What this record means

The record shows that “ECOLONE HANDMADE SOAPS” is an abandoned application, filed on September 6 2016 by J’Quincy C. Jones Sr., a Louisiana corporation, and it never reached registration; the latest status event is an abandonment notice dated July 26 2017 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “Handmade soap bars; Naturally handmade soap bars” in International Class 3, so a similar name used for any kind of soap or related cosmetics would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or food would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Ecolone” or “Handmade Soaps” in any market. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market soap products under a comparable name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO examined the mark for similarity in the soap space.
