BECAUSE TIME AND MONEY MATTER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BECAUSE TIME AND MONEY MATTER” was registered on the Principal Register on May 12, 1987, but the registration was cancelled on November 15, 1993 because the registrant, University Savings Association, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered banking and financial consulting services in class 036. A similar name used for services that are closely related to banking or financial consulting would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the mark still existed for six years and could have been enforced during that period. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered before the cancellation. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the history suggests a meaningful risk if the new use is in the same or a closely related financial services area.
