What this record means
The record shows that “VIPERMAN” is an abandoned application, listed as dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the most recent abandonment notice dated December 2 2024; the owner is listed as David P Leib, an individual. The filing covered Class 025 clothing, specifically athletic apparel such as shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats, caps and athletic uniforms. Because the claim is limited to those apparel items, a similar name used for clothing or related sports gear would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown. The record is not on the Supplemental Register, so no supplemental‑register sequence appears. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, indicating no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand athletic wear with a similar name, but it does not control every possible use of the word.
