FISH N TOOLS

What this record means

The record shows that “FISH N TOOLS” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated Dec 21 2018, and the owner listed as Rodney E Statham, a Texas sole proprietorship. The filing covered only Class 021 goods described as “cutting boards; cutting boards for the kitchen,” so a later user of a similar name would run into the closest record‑based concern if operating in the kitchen‑cutting‑board market. The record does not give the owner any control over every possible use of the words “fish” or “tools” outside that narrow description. Because the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, there’s no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to sell kitchen cutting boards under a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific product category.
