LATE BLOOMERS COLLECTION

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “LATE BLOOMERS COLLECTION” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Aaron S. Miller, an individual, and the mark was filed on May 3, 2017 under §1(a) use in commerce. The goods covered are athletic and dress clothing—padded shirts, dress shirts, hats, pants, polos, shorts, sweatshirts, denims, jackets, and related apparel—first used in commerce on December 3, 2014. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel sector, especially for athletic or dress wear. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Late Bloomers” or “Collection.” The prosecution history shows a single examiner’s amendment and a priority action, but no movement to the Supplemental Register. The last status event was the abandonment notice on March 2, 2018, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied record. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific apparel goods listed remain the most relevant area of concern.
