YELLOW

What this record means

The record shows that the mark YELLOW was abandoned on Nov 8 1982 after the applicant, ADVANCE PROCESS SUPPLY COMPANY (a corporation organized in Illinois), failed to respond to an Office action, so it is not a live or pending registration. The only goods listed are “fabrics for use in printing—namely, screen cloth for use in making stencil screens” in International Class 024, with a claimed first use of Jan 1 1960. A similar name used for printing‑related fabrics would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The prosecution history contains only the abandonment entry and does not indicate any oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement activity is visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for printing‑related fabric products, but it does not control every possible use of the word “yellow.”
