CLOSE ENOUGH

What this record means

The record shows that “CLOSE ENOUGH” is an abandoned application (status “dead”) that was filed by Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a Georgia corporation, and it never moved beyond the Principal Register filing because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance; the abandonment notice was issued on October 26 2020. The only goods listed are “audio visual recordings in all media, featuring entertainment in the nature of an on‑going television series in the field of comedy, action, drama and adventure; downloadable television programming featuring comedy, action, drama and adventure distributed via the Internet and wireless communications” (class 009). A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve streaming or downloadable TV content of that type, but the record does not give the owner control over all other uses of the words “close enough.” The prosecution history shows a series of extensions for filing a Statement of Use, ending in abandonment, but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation, or court action, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording for comparable video‑streaming or downloadable TV programming.
