Live marks with the exact name
Exact wordmark matches in the USPTO federal register, newest filing first.
What this means
The live marks span classes 3, 9, 14, 16, 18, 21, 25, 28, 30, 35, 38, 41, 43. A live mark in class 3 is not the same problem as one in class 43 — the risk depends on which class you sell in. The same word can often coexist in an unrelated class, but not in the same or a coordinated one.
Classes with a live mark: Class 3 (Cosmetics / cleaning) · Class 9 (Software / electronics / downloadable media) · Class 14 (Jewellery / watches) · Class 16 (Paper / printed matter) · Class 18 (Leather goods / bags) · Class 21 (Household goods) · Class 25 (Clothing / footwear) · Class 28 (Games / toys / sports) · Class 30 (Food (coffee, bread, sweets)) · Class 35 (Advertising / retail / business services) · Class 38 (Telecom / streaming / broadcasting) · Class 41 (Education / entertainment) · Class 43 (Food / drink services)
