CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIFTH KINDSerial 99033441 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Sirius Technology Advanced Research
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Feb 07, 2025
The record shows the application for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FIFTH KIND was abandoned on Oct 31, 2025 after the applicant, Sirius Technology Advanced Research, a Virginia limited‑liability company, failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The filing covered educational services in class 041 – specifically conferences, briefings, workshops, webinars and classes about intellectual property and branding, plus distribution of related educational materials. A similar name would be most concerning if used for any of those same types of educational or training activities, because the record’s scope is limited to that description and does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history only reflects the abandonment notice; there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions listed, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning comparable IP‑education services under a similar name, but it does not block other unrelated uses.
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.
