Owner: Brian A. Lapthorn
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed Jul 26, 2025
The record shows that the application for “BILL LAPTHORN MEMORIAL FOUNDATION … YOU SEE SOMETHING RIGHT, SPEAK IT TO POWER…” was filed by Brian A. Lapthorn, a non‑profit corporation organized in Ohio, but it is now dead – the USPTO abandoned it on April 29, 2026 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action. The only goods and services listed are charitable services, namely coordination of non‑monetary contributions to charities and non‑profits, filed in International Class 035. A similar name used in the same charitable‑coordination context would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as retail or software would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a charitable‑service brand that mirrors this wording, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO examined the mark and found issues.
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.
