What this record means
The record shows that “SMILING DOG” is not a live filing – it was abandoned on Nov 2 2022 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Wenzhou Suniu Technology Co., Ltd. The application covered only class 028, specifically a range of toys and party items such as balloons, inflatable balls, plush toys, stuffed dolls, teddy bears, pet toys and related Christmas‑tree decorations. A similar name used for any of those kinds of goods would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that toy‑and‑party‑product niche fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment; it does not imply any broader protection. The latest meaningful event in the file is the abandonment notice dated Nov 2 2022, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a toy or party‑product brand with a similar name, but the record does not block all other uses.
