CLOSE
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark CLOSE was registered on the Principal Register to ADELIE CORPORATION but was cancelled on July 31 1992 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. It covered only one class—Class 009, “Electrical & Scientific Apparatus”—specifically “computer programs for use in a computerized sales and marketing system,” and a later use of the same word in that same technical field would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “CLOSE,” especially outside that narrow software context. Because the registration was on the Principal Register, there is no Supplemental Register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event in the file is the cancellation entry on July 31 1992, and the history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for software or sales‑marketing tools, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
