CLOSE FRIEND
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the application for “CLOSE FRIEND” is dead – it was abandoned on May 28 2025 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Close Friend LLC, a New York limited‑liability company. The filing covered a long list of clothing items in International Class 025, including coats, dresses, shoes, pajamas, athletic shirts and fire‑retardant children’s wear, so a later user of a similar name in the apparel market would encounter the closest record‑based concern. Because the mark was never registered on either the Principal or Supplemental Register, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “close friend” in other fields. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on May 28 2025, and the prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a clothing brand with a comparable name.
