WORDTEC

What this record means

The record shows that WORDTEC, INC., a Kentucky corporation, once held a Principal Register registration for the mark WORDTEC, but the registration was cancelled on Oct 17 1985 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not live or pending. The cancelled registration covered copying‑machine toners and developers (Class 001), magnetic cards for automatic typewriters and dictating‑equipment cassettes (Class 009), and office supplies such as typewriter ribbons, copy paper and computer ribbons (Class 016). A similar name used for those specific office‑technology goods would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not control every possible use of the word WORDTEC. The prosecution history contains only the Section 8 cancellation and no oppositions, extensions or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same office‑equipment arena, but the cancellation means the mark no longer blocks new filings.
