Serial 78041153 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Simendinger, Theodore J DBA Pro Leisure Tour
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Dec 30, 2000
The record shows that the mark “THE IMPACT PLAYER. BECOME AN IMPACT PLAYER. BECOME AN IMPACT PLAYER TODAY! …” is dead because the applicant, Simendinger, Theodore J DBA Pro Leisure Tour, failed to respond to an Office action and the application was abandoned on May 14, 2002. The mark was filed on Dec 30, 2000 under the intent‑to‑use basis and was assigned to the Principal Register. The only class listed is 041, covering education and entertainment services such as sales‑training programs, self‑help instructional programs, personal‑development coaching, speeches, and instructional presentations. A similar name used for services in that same class would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on May 14, 2002. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests that the mark is no longer enforceable, but using the same wording for services in class 041 could still create a risk of confusion with the abandoned mark’s prior intent.

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.
