NORTHWESTSerial 72253583 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC.
Class 018 -
Class 039 -
Filed Sep 01, 1966
Registered Feb 11, 1969
The record shows that the mark NORTHWEST was registered to NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC., a corporation organized in Minnesota, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired on November 3, 1992. The registration covered flight bags in International Class 018 and passenger, freight, and mail transportation services in Class 039, both tied to the airline’s use dating back to October 1, 1926. Because the goods and services are limited to airline‑related baggage and transport, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, software or clothing—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another airline or travel‑related service would be the closest area of concern. The prosecution history only records the expiration under Section 9, with no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement activity noted. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for any new airline‑type brand using NORTHWEST, but the record does not control every possible use of the word.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
