What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOUL” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is Issa Mohamed Hamissou, an individual, and the mark was filed on September 17 2018 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered were t‑shirts, graphic t‑shirts, and short‑sleeved or long‑sleeved t‑shirts in class 025. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the word in any context, but the specific description of apparel means that a similar name used on clothing could raise the closest concern. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, received a notice of allowance, and then abandoned because no statement of use was filed. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone thinking of a similar name on apparel, the abandoned status reduces risk, but the specific apparel scope still suggests a potential concern if the name is used on similar products.
