THE SUN ALSO RISES
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for “THE SUN ALSO RISES” owned by Hemingway, Ltd., a Washington corporation, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The filing lists a wide range of goods—from eyeglasses and smart phones in class 009 to clothing, jewelry, luggage, beverage glassware, food items, alcoholic drinks, advertising services, education and entertainment, and hotel‑restaurant services—so a similar name used on any of those products or services would create the closest record‑based concern. The USPTO has issued a final Office action refusing registration, most recently noted on July 12 2026, and the applicant has not yet overcome that refusal; no renewal or other maintenance dates appear in the record. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the same wording for comparable goods or services.
