MAKING IT IN THE METAVERSE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MAKING IT IN THE METAVERSE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Felixa, Inc., failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered a wide range of goods and services, including downloadable virtual goods and software for virtual worlds, printed books for creators, various bags, beverage glassware, clothing, games, online marketplaces for digital assets, cryptocurrency services, entertainment and educational services, and online social networking. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the areas of virtual goods, digital marketplaces, and entertainment services, where the mark’s description is most specific. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on February 5, 2024. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the broad goods and services list still signals a potential concern in virtual and digital marketplaces.
