What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY CAPS GIFTING SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL TO THE BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Happy Caps, Inc., a corporation organized in Georgia. The mark was filed on July 17, 2017, and the last status update was May 17, 2018. It covered hats under class 025, with first use on October 1, 2016. Because the mark is on the Principal Register and was abandoned, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the record still indicates that the owner once claimed protection for hats. A similar name used for hats or related apparel could raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of notifications and a final abandonment notice, with no evidence of opposition or enforcement. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the prior claim on hats remains a potential point of caution.
