THE NAME IN FOOD SERVICE LAWSerial 78597701 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Rule, Michael A.
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Mar 29, 2005
The record shows the mark THE NAME IN FOOD SERVICE LAW is abandoned, so it’s not live or registered, and the listed owner is Michael A. Rule, an individual. The only listed goods are “Legal services” in International Class 042, meaning a later use of a similar phrase would most closely bump into this filing if it also offers legal or regulatory advice for food‑service businesses. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “food service law” in unrelated fields. Because the application was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis, the prosecution history shows a Notice of Allowance on Mar 14 2006 followed by an abandonment notice on Nov 15 2006 for failing to file a Statement of Use, after which the mark was cancelled. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a similar name for legal services, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
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.
