DOCS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DOCS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is DOCS, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Florida. The mark was filed on November 8 2016 for the class 003 goods of toothpaste, with first use on November 3 2016. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “DOCS” in any context. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence: the application was entered, assigned to an examiner, a non‑final action was issued, and the applicant failed to respond, leading to abandonment. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the cosmetic or cleaning category, specifically toothpaste, but the abandoned status means the risk is limited to that narrow area and does not cover broader uses.
