BACK TO EARTHSerial 75002797 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Northwest Teleproductions
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Oct 10, 1995
The record shows that “BACK TO EARTH” is an abandoned service mark that was never issued because the applicant, Northwest Teleproductions, a Minnesota corporation, failed to file a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance was mailed on August 20 1996; the abandonment was entered on February 21 1997. The only goods and services listed are a continuing television series concerning protecting, restoring and surviving in the wilderness, filed in International Class 041. A similar name used for TV programming or related wilderness‑education content would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as food, apparel or technology fall farther from the scope shown in the record. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Back to Earth.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval for publication to a notice requiring a Statement of Use, which was never submitted. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on February 21 1997, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a TV series about wilderness survival, but the risk is lower for unrelated products or services.

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.
