SEA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SEA is dead – it was cancelled for failure to renew on Dec 20, 2008 and is no longer a live registration, and the listed owner is Duncan McIntosh Company, Inc., a California corporation. The registration covered Class 016 paper goods and printed matter, specifically a magazine aimed at owners of motor boats, sailboats and yachts of all sizes for use on various waters; a similar name used for boating‑related publications would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “SEA,” especially outside that narrow magazine context. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The most recent meaningful event is the cancellation for non‑renewal in 2008, and no later maintenance actions appear. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the renewal lapse, or court filings, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a boating‑focused print product, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
