ANDROID

What this record means

The record shows a live Principal Register registration for the mark ANDROID owned by GEORGE T. MAURICE, covering “blood testing apparatus and parts thereof” in International Class 009; a similar name used for medical testing equipment would raise the closest record‑based concern because the goods listed are narrowly focused on that type of apparatus. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word ANDROID, especially in unrelated fields. The most recent meaningful event is the third renewal filing and acceptance on August 11, 2016, which confirmed the registration’s continued validity. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market medical testing devices under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products.
