WHEN CLOSE ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “WHEN CLOSE ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH” is a live Principal Register trademark owned by PRO‑SHOT PRODUCTS, INC., covering the single class 028 description “firearm targets,” with a first use date of January 22 2018; a similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if it were used for any kind of shooting‑range or target‑related product, because the listed goods are narrowly focused on that specific market. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in unrelated fields, so a completely different industry would be farther from the scope shown here. The latest meaningful event is the November 13 2024 acceptance of the combined Section 8 (six‑year renewal) and Section 15 (ownership) declaration, confirming the registration remains active. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand firearm‑target products with a similar phrase.
