Goods text is quoted from the USPTO record and shortened where marked “…”. Words in [brackets] were deleted by the owner and are no longer covered. Classes listed are international classes. A dash (—) means no registration has issued.
Mark type matters. A standard-character mark covers the wording itself, in any font or style. A stylized or design (logo) mark is registered as shown, and how far it reaches to the same words in plain text is fact-specific. A trademark attorney can tell you how it applies to your design.
About this check. This page lists only the 5 USPTO records shown above. We picked them from a limited sample of search results (the top 100 results per phrase search, when a common phrase can have thousands of related filings) and verified each one on its USPTO TSDR status page. Other filings, live or dead, may exist. Where this page says "none," it means none in the records we checked.
Shirts and apparel (class 25). Registration No. 2025737 (renewed in April 2026) covers T-shirts, sweatshirts, shirts, hats, pants and shorts. That covers the core POD product line directly. More registrations cover children's clothing, socks, scarves and mittens.
Bags (class 18). Live registrations cover tote bags, backpacks, travel bags and messenger bags.
Mugs and drinkware (class 21). Live coverage includes insulated food and beverage containers and pet bowls.
Stickers and paper (class 16). A December 2024 registration covers textile wine gift bags.
Bottom line. "Life is good" is a common English sentence, but on merch it reads as the brand. Using it as the main text of a design carries real takedown risk in every merch class.
Variants are starting points, not clearances. Any new wording can match a record we didn't list or a filing made after our check. Run every final phrase through a search before you list it.
One phrase is easy to look up. Hundreds of listings aren't. PhraseSafe checks the titles and tags in your Etsy or Shopify listings export against USPTO trademark records in merch classes and flags matches with status, class, owner and filing date. Starter scans up to 500 listings at a time. Pro adds a monthly new-filing check and daily status checks on marks you watch, with results shown on your PhraseSafe dashboard. Paid plans are activated with a license key.
