SUNSPRITES

What this record means

The record shows that SUNSPRITES, owned by Simple Elegance, was registered on the Principal Register on March 8 1983 but was cancelled on July 31 1989 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not live. The registration covered only Class 020 goods described as “Metal Window Ornaments Featuring a Metal Design and a Suspended Crystal,” with a first use date of August 13 1981; a similar name used for those kinds of decorative metal hardware would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “SUNSPRITES.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was approved for publication, published for opposition, and ultimately registered before the later cancellation; no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations by third parties appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market metal window ornaments under a similar name.
