SEA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SEA was abandoned, so it is not live, registered, pending or cancelled, and the applicant listed was the Professional Association of Sports Educators, a California corporation. The only goods listed are “education services, namely, teaching diving to students and instructors” in International Class 041, so a later applicant using SEA for anything related to diving instruction or similar educational programs would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the USPTO record does not give the owner control over every other use of the word SEA in unrelated fields. The prosecution history notes a non‑final office action in March 1984, assignment to an examiner, and an abandonment on October 18 1984 because the applicant failed to respond or responded late; that abandonment is the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the file, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern only if your services overlap with diving education; otherwise the risk from this particular record is limited.
