THUMBS UP

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THUMBS UP” is dead, having been abandoned by Louisiana Glove Company Inc after the applicant failed to respond to office actions. The mark was filed on August 20, 2021 on the Principal Register for the specific goods of nitrile gloves for medical use in class 010. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in all contexts, but it does indicate that the owner once sought protection for that particular product line. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in June 2023, a petition to revive that was granted, and then a subsequent abandonment in October 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “THUMBS UP” for medical nitrile gloves, and the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, though the mark’s prior registration still signals that the owner had an interest in that specific product.
