What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO YA” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Kenya Boulware, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 25 2021 and the abandonment notice was issued on September 9 2022. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering a wide range of clothing items such as beanies, blouses, dresses, gloves, hats, jeans, pants, scarves, shirts, shoes, shorts, skirts, socks, sweaters, underwear, hoodies, jackets, and tee shirts. Because the goods listed are all apparel, a similar name used for clothing or related apparel would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark any control over uses outside of those goods. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name in the apparel space is that the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim, so caution is advised.
