The record shows that “THE L.A. COMPLEX” is a dead, abandoned mark that was owned by Epitome Pictures Inc., a corporation organized in Canada. The mark was filed on January 23, 2012 on an intent‑to‑use basis and was abandoned on July 22, 2016 after the applicant filed an express abandonment. The goods listed in the record are extensive and include pre‑recorded CD‑ROMs, DVDs, laser discs, and other media featuring television series episodes and made‑for‑TV movies; computer software for mobile devices about television series and social networking; phonograph records, audio and video cassettes, and compact discs featuring television series, made‑for‑TV movies and music; motion picture films in the nature of a drama; sunglasses; sports calculators; speedometers; timers; magnets; souvenir football helmets; and a wide range of clothing items such as jackets, suits, shirts, swimwear, hats, and more. A similar name would create the closest record‑based concern in the areas of media, entertainment, and apparel. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity is visible in the supplied history. The latest meaningful status event is the abandonment notice mailed on July 22, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the extensive goods list means that use in media, entertainment, or apparel could still raise a concern.
