FOR BITING FLIES STICK IT TO BITING FLIES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FOR BITING FLIES STICK IT TO BITING FLIES” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Sterling International Inc., a corporation organized in Washington. The mark was applied for on June 6, 2019 and covered biopesticides for domestic use (class 005) and insect traps (class 021). A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same classes, especially if the new use involves pest control products or devices. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward refusal and abandonment sequence with no Supplemental Register activity. The latest event is the abandonment notice on February 4, 2020, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential concern.
