CERTAINTY LIVES IN LAYERSSerial 87097118 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Jul 08, 2016
Registered Apr 16, 2019
The record shows that “CERTAINTY LIVES IN LAYERS” is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by Koninklijke Philips N.V.; the registration was cancelled on Oct 31 2025 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to Class 041 educational services, specifically “conducting classes and seminars, and providing instruction services in the field of medical imaging.” A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any education‑ or training‑related offering in medical imaging, because that is the exact scope the USPTO record covers. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in unrelated fields. This mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, so the prosecution history simply reflects the usual steps to secure a Principal Register registration, including extensions of time for a Statement of Use. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation on Oct 31 2025, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name in medical‑imaging education, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.

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.
