THE SOUL OF NORFOLK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “THE SOUL OF NORFOLK” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Howard & Loretta LLC, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was never registered; it was only published for opposition and allowed on the Principal Register before abandonment. The goods covered are banners and flags of textile or plastic (class 024) and footwear, headwear, bottoms, and tops as clothing (class 025). A similar name would raise the closest concern in these two classes, especially for textile flags or clothing items. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on December 16, 2024. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the goods listed still represent the narrow scope where a name could still trigger a concern.
