ESIGNSerial 75465290 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: DATAKEY, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Apr 09, 1998
The record shows that the mark “ESIGN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is DATAKEY, INC., a corporation organized in Minnesota, and the mark was filed on April 9, 1998 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered are computer programs for use in electronic document authentication, listed under class 009. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “esign” or similar spellings. The prosecution history indicates a final refusal was mailed on January 21, 2000, followed by abandonment on September 5, 2000; no supplemental register status is involved. There is no visible enforcement activity in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be the abandoned “ESIGN” mark in the same class, but the lack of an active registration means the risk is lower than for a live mark.

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.
