WAGGIN' TAILS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WAGGIN’ TAILS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Patricia Caroline Bowers, an individual. The mark covered dog bandanas and bow ties under class 024, with first use in commerce on February 10, 2017. A similar name would raise the closest concern for apparel or accessories for dogs, especially bandanas and bow ties, since that is the only goods listed. The record does not give the mark control over any other uses of the wording. The prosecution history shows the application was entered on December 27, 2018, assigned to an examiner on December 18, 2019, and abandoned on October 21, 2019 after a failure to respond. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the main risk is potential confusion in the dog apparel market, but the mark’s abandonment means the owner no longer holds active rights.
