ROB

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ROB (Serial 73256566, Registration 1176818) was registered on the Principal Register to Robvon Backing Ring Company, The, a New Jersey corporation, but the registration was cancelled on June 8 1988 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The protection that existed covered only “Welding Rings, Welding Coupons and Consumable Insert Rings and Wire Coils for Welding” in International Class 006, meaning a similar name used for welding‑related hardware would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a correction under Section 7 in 1982, and was ultimately cancelled for non‑maintenance; no opposition or cancellation proceedings appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for welding consumables, but the record does not control the word ROB in other product categories.
