WORDTANGLESerial 74461140 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Parsons Technology, Inc.
Class 028 -
Filed Nov 22, 1993
The record shows that WORDTANGLE is an abandoned application on the Principal Register, filed by Parsons Technology, Inc., a corporation organized in Iowa, and it was abandoned on May 9 1995 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only listed goods are “computer programs for creating and playing word games” in International Class 028, so a similar name used for software that lets people generate or play word puzzles would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDTANGLE” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application moved through approval for publication, an examiner’s amendment, and a Notice of Allowance before the abandonment, but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation, or court action. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a word‑game program, because the abandoned filing still signals that the wording has been claimed in that niche.
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.
