WORDCETERASerial 73545291 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: WORDCETERA GAMES
Class 028 -
Filed Jun 27, 1985
Registered Dec 17, 1985
The record shows that WORDCETERA, owned by WORDCETERA GAMES (a U.S. partnership), was registered on the Principal Register on Dec 17 1985 for “equipment sold as a unit for playing a parlor game” in International Class 028, but the registration was cancelled on Jul 29 1992 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The goods listed are limited to that specific type of game equipment, so a similar name used for anything else—such as software, apparel, or services—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another parlor‑game device using the same wording would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDCETERA.” The prosecution history shows a normal path to registration followed by a cancellation for non‑maintenance, with no oppositions or other enforcement actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market a comparable parlor‑game product under the same name.
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.
