Owner: Chip Express Corporation
Class 007 -
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Aug 22, 1996
The record shows that the mark OPENCORE is abandoned, with the last status dated March 18 1998 after an inter partes decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and the owner listed as Chip Express Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The abandoned application covered two classes: Class 007 for “integrated circuit micromachinery for customizing integrated circuits,” and Class 009 for “computer software for use in customizing integrated circuits and in manufacturing customized integrated circuits, integrated circuits and integrated circuit layouts.” A similar name used in the same high‑tech hardware or software fields would create the closest record‑based concern because the goods described are narrowly focused on custom integrated‑circuit technology. The record does not give Chip Express control over every use of the word “OPENCORE” in unrelated industries. No supplemental‑register sequence appears, and the only meaningful event is the abandonment in 1998; no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The supplied history shows no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market products that overlap the listed integrated‑circuit 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.
