CHICKEN LIVES MATTER

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “CHICKEN LIVES MATTER” is dead; it was abandoned on April 27 2018 after the applicant, Nannette V. Ramey, failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “Live chickens” in International Class 031, with a first use date of June 17 2017. Because the claim is limited to live poultry, a similar phrase used for anything else—such as food products, clothing, or services—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another mark covering live chickens would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “CHICKEN LIVES MATTER” in unrelated markets. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the non‑final action and subsequent abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the phrase for live‑bird related goods, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
