SAMSUNG

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” was abandoned by Samsung Electronics Company, Limited, a corporation organized in Korea, and is no longer live. The abandoned application covered a wide range of goods, including chemical products, machines and machine tools, hand tools, scientific and electrical apparatus, medical supplies, lighting installations, precious metals, paper goods, furniture, small domestic utensils, and games. Because the abandoned status means the mark is not enforceable, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Samsung.” The prosecution history shows several non‑final actions and reinstatements, but the final abandonment on December 18, 1984 is the most recent significant event. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the broad categories of electronics, appliances, or related scientific equipment, but the abandoned status reduces the risk of infringement.
