ROT BALLSerial 75037053 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: VALK, ALEXIS
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Dec 26, 1995
The record shows that the “ROT BALL” application is dead, having been abandoned on April 9 1997 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Alexis Valk, an individual. The filing covered class 041 services described as “entertainment services in the nature of organizing and conducting games competitions, or exhibitions regarding an ongoing simulation of professional sporting games,” so a similar name used for anything in that entertainment‑gaming niche would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over all other uses of the words “rot” or “ball” outside that specific service description. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from examiner assignment to a non‑final action and then to abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on April 9 1997, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations are shown. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a comparable gaming‑related service, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
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.
