MOTOR BOATING & SAILINGSerial 75094822 · Principal Register
Dead · Withdrawn
Owner: HEARST COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Apr 26, 1996
The record shows that “MOTOR BOATING & SAILING” is dead – it was abandoned by Hearst Communications, Inc. after the applicant filed an express abandonment on June 5 2000, and no later activity is listed. The only goods covered are in International Class 009 and include fire extinguishers; audio and visual distress signals (emergency warning lights); life‑saving equipment such as life jackets and kickboard flotation devices; binoculars; and eyeglasses and sunglasses. A similar name used for any of those items would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow list fall farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not control every possible use of the words “motor boating” or “sailing.” The prosecution history shows a series of extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, a Notice of Allowance, and finally an express abandonment, but no Supplemental Register filing appears. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment filing in 2000, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market comparable safety or optical 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.
