What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PENNY POWER” is dead and was abandoned by the Consumers Union of United States, Inc. The mark was never registered; it was filed for the Principal Register but was abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are children’s magazines, a paper goods and printed matter class. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history shows a single abandonment event on November 30, 1982, with no further maintenance or enforcement actions recorded. There is no evidence of opposition, cancellation, or court proceedings. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the area of children’s magazines or related printed matter, but the abandoned status means the mark offers no active protection beyond that narrow scope.
