What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HAPPY HOUNDS APPAREL” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Cody J. Thompson, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on July 30, 2022 and the abandonment was recorded on January 2, 2024. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering baseball caps and hats, beanies, athletic shorts, graphic t‑shirts, short‑sleeved or long‑sleeved t‑shirts, sweat shirts, and t‑shirts. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the apparel and clothing sector, especially for items listed above. The abandonment does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only removes the specific registration. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the clothing market, but the mark is no longer active.
