ELSASerial 78131968 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: LANCEL INTERNATIONAL SA
Class 018 -
Filed May 30, 2002
Registered Jul 29, 2003
The record shows the mark ELSA is cancelled, so it is not a live registration, and the listed owner is LANCEL INTERNATIONAL SA, a Swiss company that filed the application on May 30 2002 and had the mark registered on the Principal Register on July 29 2003 before it was cancelled on March 7 2014 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered only class 018 goods – handbags, clutch bags, travelling bags, tote bags, hobo bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, wallets, card cases, billfolds and purses – so a similar name used for those types of bags would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “ELSA” in any context. No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal filing, publication, registration and later cancellation steps. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a bag‑related brand using a similar name, because the cancelled registration still reflects a prior claim to that market segment.
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.
