What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for “CLOSE UP NEXTGEN ROUNDTABLE” owned by Close Up Foundation, a non‑profit corporation in the District of Columbia, and it is slated for the Principal Register. The only listed goods are T‑shirts in International Class 025, so the closest record‑based concern would be any other apparel or clothing line using a similar name; uses in unrelated fields such as software, events, or publishing would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the application is still pending, the USPTO has not granted any exclusive control, and the record does not extend to every possible use of the words “Close Up” or “NextGen.” The most recent meaningful event is the issuance of a Notice of Allowance on May 19 2026, which now requires the applicant to file a Statement of Use or request an extension within six months. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a clothing brand with a similar name.
