Did Clean Your Dirty Face abandon the 'MUD' trademark application, and if so, when?

Make-Up Designory v. Shama Patel, MUD Franchising, LLC and Anjmanj, Inc. (U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Case No. 1:17-cv-02680, filed April 7, 2017). Make-Up Designory (the "Plaintiff"), an educational institution training student in makeup specialties, filed this lawsuit against the us, our Chief Executive Officer, and Anjmanj, Inc. (collectively the "Defendants") to enforce its intellectual property rights in certain trademarks. Specifically, plaintiff alleged that Defendants were copying and infringing aspects of Plaintiff's intellectual property, and, as a result, creating a likelihood of confusion, actual confusion, and deception as to the affiliation, connection, association, origin, sponsorship and approval of Defendant's services. Plaintiff asserted claims for federal trademark infringement, federal unfair competition, state deceptive trade practices, common law trademark infringement, and common law unfair competition. The relief sought included a judgment stating Defendants infringed Plaintiff's trademark, engaged in unfair competition, engaged in deceptive trade practices, an order transferring ownership of the domain name mudfacialbar.com, money damages, and attorney fees. On May 30, 2017, Defendants filed their answer to the complaint and affirmative defenses claiming failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted; that the claims were based on the doctrines of mootness, estoppel and laches; and that the claims were barred by Plaintiff's failure to mitigate damages. On June 29, 2017, the parties filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice and Defendants filed an express abandonment of the "MUD" trademark application on July 5, 2017.
