THUMBS UP

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THUMBS UP” is dead and was abandoned by the owner, ARNICURA, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 13 2020 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was listed in class 005 for sanitizing preparations, antibacterial alcohol skin sanitizer gel, antimicrobial hand‑sanitizing preparations, and hand‑sanitizing preparations. A similar name used for products or services in these exact categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only shows a claim in the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in August 2020 and an abandonment notice in February 2021, with no subsequent enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific sanitizing goods remain a potential point of concern.
