HAPPY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “HAPPY” is dead, having been abandoned by its owner, Happy the App, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on July 13, 2017 and the abandonment notice was mailed on May 16, 2018. The only goods listed are computer application software for mobile phones, tablets and personal computers that facilitates communications via computer networks, communications networks and the global computer network, with first use on April 7, 2017. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “HAPPY.” The prosecution history shows a standard Office action and a failure to respond, with no opposition or cancellation events. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for software that facilitates communications, this record suggests a close concern in that specific software category, but it does not preclude use in unrelated fields.
