SEA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SEA was registered to SERVICE ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC., a Georgia corporation, but it was cancelled when the required Section 8 renewal was not filed, so the registration expired on Dec 29 2000 and is now dead. The only listed goods are “education services‑namely, sponsoring and conducting seminars in housekeeping management and supervision” in International Class 041, meaning the visible concern is limited to that specific type of training service. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SEA” in other industries or contexts. The prosecution history simply notes the original registration in 1969, a renewal in 1989, and the eventual cancellation in 2000; there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a similar name for education‑related seminars, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
