Serial 90003828 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Erwin Doris D
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed
The record shows that the mark is dead and was refused because the application did not meet minimum filing date requirements. The owner listed is Erwin Doris D, an individual. The goods covered are novelty identification cards, specifically paper goods and printed matter used as tags, pins, or badges for events. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of event identification accessories, especially those that are printed or written on. This record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a single entry on June 19, 2020, when the new application was entered, followed by the refusal on July 17, 2020. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark’s description of novelty identification cards could create a meaningful concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related category.

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.
