HAPPY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “HAPPY” was abandoned on January 8, 2021, after the applicant, Andrew Paine, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on April 7, 2020 under the intent‑to‑use basis and was being pursued for class 032, which covers light beverages such as beer, bottled water, and lemonade. Because the application was abandoned, the owner no longer holds any registration rights, and the mark is not live or registered. The abandonment does not give the owner control over every use of the word “HAPPY”; it only reflects that the specific claim for those beverages was not pursued. The prosecution history shows a standard non‑final action and subsequent abandonment, with no evidence of opposition, cancellation, or court action. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be the abandoned claim for light beverages, but the mark’s dead status suggests that the risk of infringement is low, though other rights could still exist.
