What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO LYME” was abandoned by its owner, Online Patient Journals LLC, a limited liability company organized in Virginia. The application was filed on July 21, 2017 and the abandonment was formally recorded on November 8, 2017. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering clothing such as camp shirts, pants, socks, sweatshirts, tee shirts, baseball caps and hats, denim jeans, and henley shirts, with first use in commerce on April 1, 2017 and use in commerce on April 12, 2017. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the record still indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific set of apparel. The prosecution history shows a straightforward abandonment sequence with no opposition or cancellation filings, and no enforcement activity is visible in the supplied documents. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using a comparable phrase for clothing items, especially socks and related apparel, as that is the exact scope shown in the record.
