CLOSE THE GAP
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “CLOSE THE GAP” is an abandoned application, filed on September 24 2024 by Honor and Fire, LLC, a Michigan limited‑liability company, and the USPTO marked it dead on April 2 2025 after the applicant failed to answer a non‑final Office action. The only goods listed are in International Class 025 and consist of a long list of clothing items such as shirts, jackets, pants, swimwear, headwear and related apparel. Because the filing covers apparel, a later user of the same phrase for clothing would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields (for example, software or food) would be farther from the scope shown here. The abandonment notice is the most recent status event, and no opposition, cancellation or court action appears in the history, so the supplied record shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning to brand clothing with “CLOSE THE GAP,” but it does not automatically block all other uses of the words.
