GROUNDED JOURNALS

What this record means

The record shows that “GROUNDED JOURNALS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Mary Pat Sass. It covers paper goods and printed matter, specifically customizable journal books for writing that include prompts and space for photos, with first use in September 2022 and use in commerce from April 2023. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of printed journals and related paper products. The record does not give control over every use of the word “journals” or “grounded” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence that led to registration, with no supplemental register steps. The latest event is the registration on January 28, 2025, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using the same or very similar wording for journals or related paper goods could create a meaningful concern.
