THE NAME FRIENDS RECOMMENDSerial 88492647 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Rickels Group, LLC
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed Jun 27, 2019
Registered Jan 28, 2020
The record shows that “THE NAME FRIENDS RECOMMEND” is a cancelled registration – the Principal Register entry (Reg. 5971808) was cancelled on Aug 7 2026 because the registrant, Rickels Group, LLC, a Tennessee limited‑liability company, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration to maintain the mark. The registration covered only Class 036 services: providing real‑estate agency services, including assistance with buying and selling real estate, real‑estate listing services, brokerage and consultancy. A similar name used in any of those real‑estate‑related contexts would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope fall farther from the listed area but are not automatically free of risk. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed through normal examination, was approved for publication, and was registered on Jan 28 2020 before later lapsing; it never appeared on the Supplemental Register. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the phrase for real‑estate services, because the cancelled registration still signals prior claim 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.
