SERENADE

What this record means

The record shows that SERENADE, owned by ANSOFT CORPORATION, was registered on the Principal Register on May 8 1990 but was cancelled on January 15 2016 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The registration covered only one class—Class 009 for “computer programs for computer‑aided design of microwave equipment.” A similar name used in the same technical software field would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give ANSOFT control over every possible use of the word SERENADE. No prosecution history or opposition filings appear, and the supplied history shows no enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product or service that overlaps with microwave‑equipment design software.
