NOT A REAL SPORT

What this record means

The record shows a live, pending application for the mark “NOT A REAL SPORT” owned by Paddletek Pickleball, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it is slated for the Principal Register. The goods listed are decals (Class 016), a range of clothing such as shirts, athletic shirts, visors, hats, shorts, shoes, socks, sweat bands, sweatshirts, tank tops and wrist bands (Class 025), and sporting‑good equipment for a ball‑and‑paddle court game, specifically paddles, paddle covers and cases (Class 028). A similar name used for any of those items would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories are not covered by this filing. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording. The latest meaningful event is the Notice of Allowance issued on March 31 2026, which now requires the applicant to file a Statement of Use or request an extension within six months. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable decals, apparel or paddle equipment under a similar name.
