TRAPSTIK FOR BITING FLIES STICK IT TO BITING FLIES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TRAPSTIK FOR BITING FLIES STICK IT TO BITING FLIES” was abandoned on May 11 2021 because the applicant, Sterling International Inc., failed to respond to an Office action. The abandoned application covered biopesticides for domestic use and insect traps in classes 005 and 021. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same goods, especially products marketed as fly‑trapping or fly‑repellent devices. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned filing for those specific classes. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in October 2020 followed by a final refusal in December 2019, but the abandonment supersedes those decisions. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern.
