APEX OBSESSED

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “APEX OBSESSED” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Paul Makarucha, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered sporting goods such as carriers for sport balls, pitching mounds, adhesive tape for hockey sticks, and training equipment, as well as entertainment services related to track and field competitions, automobile races, and driving instruction. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same sporting and entertainment categories, especially where the goods or services overlap with the listed items. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only the specific goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence: application, publication, allowance, and abandonment, with no enforcement actions recorded. Since the mark is abandoned, the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name, be aware that the abandoned status removes the active registration, but the earlier allowance and the specific goods and services still represent a potential concern in those areas.
