What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FOOTNOTE BOOKS” is dead, having been abandoned on July 3, 2023 because the applicant, Beaver Troy Bradford, a sole proprietorship organized in California, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on June 1, 2022 and was on the Principal Register. It covered the collection of used books for distribution to further users, a class 039 service. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the used‑book distribution space, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on July 3, 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording, yet the specific goods or services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
