Owner: YAHAV ENTERPRISES LLC
Class 043 - Restaurant & Hotel Services

The record shows the application for “THE ALEXANDER” is dead; it was refused and voided on March 25, 2015 because the filing did not meet the minimum filing‑date requirements, and the owner listed is YAHAV ENTERPRISES LLC, a Florida limited‑liability company. The only goods and services on the record are “Hotel and restaurant services” in International Class 043, so a similar name used in hospitality would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give YAHAV ENTERPRISES any control over the wording in other industries or contexts. There is no Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply notes a new application entered on March 17, 2015 before the refusal. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a hospitality brand with the same wording, but the risk is limited to that sector.

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.
