JBC JUST BECAUSE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “JBC JUST BECAUSE” is an abandoned application, filed by Donald Schmidt as an individual on February 1 2021, and the USPTO marked it dead on March 14 2022 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action. The only listed service is “operation of a chatline for drivers to talk to each other while driving across the country” in International Class 038, so a similar name used for any kind of driver‑chat service would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Schmidt control over the words “JBC” or “JUST BECAUSE” in other industries or for unrelated goods. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 14 2022, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a driver‑chat service under a similar name.
