What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FLUFFY FRIENDS” is dead, having been abandoned by Universal Yarn Inc., a corporation organized in North Carolina, because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance on November 11, 2025. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 023 goods, specifically yarn. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the yarn market, as that is the only goods category listed. The abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that Universal Yarn Inc. no longer holds the registration. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path from filing to publication to allowance, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, the only visible event is the abandonment on June 15, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark’s prior registration in yarn could still create a potential concern if the new use is in the same or a related category.
