I HAVE YOUR BACK AS I BELIEVE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE OFF YOUR BACK
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “I HAVE YOUR BACK AS I BELIEVE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE OFF YOUR BACK” is currently pending on the Principal Register, owned by Stephen J. Cloobeck. The application covers a wide range of political campaign goods and services, including bumper stickers, campaign buttons, political campaign services, fundraising, and online political content, as well as various apparel and bags. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same political campaign and apparel categories, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history indicates that the applicant has requested and received an extension to file a Statement of Use, and the latest event is the grant of that extension on March 1, 2026. No oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and broad political and apparel coverage suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in those areas.
