The record shows that “SANTEE COOPER” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by the South Carolina Public Service Authority, a state agency, and it has been renewed as of April 20 2019. The registration covers utility services in class 039 – transmission and distribution of electricity and distribution of water – and class 040 – generation of electricity, both listed as first used in 1945. A similar name used for any electricity‑related or water‑distribution services would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Santee Cooper.” The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition in December 2009, and subsequent registration on the Principal Register in February 2010, followed by routine Section 8/9 renewals. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer electricity or water utility services 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.
