PENNYPOWER ADVERTISING WITH IMPACT SHOPPING NEWS 1972

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PENNYPOWER ADVERTISING WITH IMPACT SHOPPING NEWS 1972” was registered on the Principal Register on May 3, 1977, but it was cancelled under Section 8 on September 27, 1983 because the registrant, PENNYPOWER SHOPPING NEWS, INC., failed to file an acceptable declaration. The cancelled registration covered paper goods and printed matter (class 016) for a shopping news magazine or newspaper featuring advertising, and advertising services (class 035) for advertising goods and services, first used on September 14, 1972. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest concern would arise for businesses that publish a shopping news magazine or provide advertising services that use a similar name. The supplied history shows no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion in the specific goods and services listed, but the mark’s cancellation means the owner’s active rights have ended.
