HYPHEN AMERICAN

What this record means

The record shows that the "HYPHEN AMERICAN" mark is dead, with the owner listed as Fakalata, Tonga Victoria. This mark was applied for in the clothing class, specifically for "Clothing", which means that a similar name in this area could create a closer concern. However, this record does not establish control over every use of the wording "HYPHEN AMERICAN". The latest meaningful event was the abandonment notice mailed on July 23, 2018, due to the applicant's failure to respond to an office action. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. Considering the mark's status and history, I'd treat this as a less pressing concern for someone considering a similar name, but it's still important to carefully review the record and consider potential risks.
