CHARTER A PIECE OF THE SUN!

What this record means

The record shows that “CHARTER A PIECE OF THE SUN!” is an abandoned service mark; the USPTO listed it as dead after the applicant failed to give a complete response to an Office action, with the abandonment dated November 10, 1987. The owner on file is YACHT MANAGEMENT SOUTH, INC., a Florida corporation, and the filing was based on actual use in commerce beginning October 8, 1981. The only goods and services listed are “SAILING YACHT CHARTERING SERVICES” in International Class 039, so a similar phrase used for yacht chartering would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over unrelated goods or services, and it does not extend to all possible uses of the words. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in August 1986, a final refusal in February 1987, and the ultimate abandonment in October 1987; no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use the phrase for yacht‑chartering services.
