INVOICE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that the mark “INVOICE” is dead and was abandoned by FTC Communications, Inc. The mark was never registered; it was a service mark on the Principal Register that was abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The only goods or services listed are “COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN POINTS” in class 038, with first use in November 1981. A similar name used for communication services, especially those involving cross‑border messaging, would raise the closest concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds any federal rights to the mark, but the record does not give anyone free reign over the word in all contexts. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. If you are thinking of using a similar name for communication services, this record suggests a potential risk of confusion with a previously abandoned mark in the same field.
