AFTON INSTITUTESerial 78648902 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Afton Institute, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Jun 12, 2005
The record shows that “AFTON INSTITUTE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated July 31 2006; the owner listed is Afton Institute, LLC, a Nevada limited‑liability company. The filing covered education‑related services in International Class 041, specifically online and offline training classes, electronic and hard‑copy publications, and educational consulting sessions, all first used in January 2005. Because the registration never issued, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Afton Institute,” but it does create the closest record‑based concern for any new mark that offers similar training or consulting services. The prosecution history shows only the non‑final office action and the subsequent abandonment, with no evidence of oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable educational brand, since the abandoned filing still appears in the USPTO database.
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.
