What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WAGGING TAILS INN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Carmine Lacava, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed as a service mark on August 11 2025 under the intent‑to‑use basis and was assigned to class 043, covering restaurant and hotel services with a specific mention of pet boarding services. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not confer any control over the wording in any other context, but the closest area of concern would be other businesses offering pet boarding or related hospitality services that use a similar name. The prosecution history shows a straightforward abandonment sequence with no opposition or cancellation filings, and the latest status event was the abandonment notice on May 15 2026. With no enforcement activity recorded, the supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk if the new use is in the pet‑boarding or hospitality sector, but no broader claim exists.
