NORTHWEST ORIENTSerial 72253673 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC.
Class 039 -
Filed Sep 01, 1966
Registered Dec 19, 1967
The record shows that NORTHWEST ORIENT, owned by NORTHWEST AIRLINES, INC., is a dead Principal Register service mark that expired because it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on Sep 26 2008. The registration covered Class 039 services – passenger, freight and mail transportation by air – and the first use date was July 15 1947. Because the protection is limited to those airline transport services, a similar name used for unrelated goods such as clothing, food or software would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not free of any trademark claim. The prosecution history simply documents the original filing in 1966, registration in 1967, a renewal in 1987 and the eventual cancellation for non‑renewal; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any descriptiveness refusal. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the expiration or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the name in the airline or broader transportation arena, but the record does not block uses outside that specific service category.
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.
