GROOVECARDSSerial 78448841 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Burkhardt, Doug
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jul 10, 2004
The record shows that the application for “GROOVECARDS” was abandoned on July 25 2006, so the mark is not live or registered; the owner listed is Doug Burkhardt, an individual. The filing covered only one class—Class 016 for “paper goods and printed materials, namely, trading cards.” Because the protection was limited to trading cards, a similar name used for that same type of product would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as software, apparel, or food fall farther from the scope shown in the record. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “groovecards.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history is empty, so there is no indication of a descriptiveness refusal or amendment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market trading cards 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.
