THE SANTEE SPECIALSerial 74285785 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: R & M Ventures
Class 028 -
Filed Jun 17, 1992
Registered Feb 09, 1993
The record shows that “THE SANTEE SPECIAL” is no longer active – it was cancelled on August 16 1999 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is R & M Ventures, a partnership organized in North Carolina. The registration covered only class 028, specifically “fishing equipment; namely, fishing rod holders,” so a later user of the same wording in connection with fishing rod holders would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE SANTEE SPECIAL,” especially in unrelated product categories. This mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register; it was granted on the Principal Register in February 1993 and then cancelled. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market fishing‑rod‑holder products under a similar 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.
