VIOLET RAYSerial 87736794 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Somerville, William
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Dec 28, 2017
Registered Sep 11, 2018
The record shows that “VIOLET RAY” is a cancelled service mark – the registration was voided on March 21 2025 because the owner, William Somerville, did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO lists the mark as “dead · cancelled.” It was registered on the Principal Register for Class 041, covering “entertainment services in the nature of live musical performances; entertainment services in the nature of live visual and audio performances by a musical band.” A similar name used for any kind of live music or visual‑audio entertainment would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow entertainment context fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Violet Ray.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the normal examination and registration steps before the later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a live‑performance brand under a similar name.
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.
