VIPERLATCH

What this record means

The record shows that VIPERLATCH is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, David P Leib, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated December 5 2022. The filing covered only Class 025, specifically athletic apparel such as shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats, caps and athletic uniforms, so a similar name used on clothing or related sports gear would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the word “VIPERLATCH” in other product categories or contexts. Because the mark was never entered on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on December 5 2022, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand athletic clothing with a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific goods class.
