WORDNET

What this record means

The record shows that WORDNET is an abandoned service mark, filed by Wordnet Ltd., a Delaware corporation, and the application was abandoned on Jan 28 1991 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “computerized word processing services” in International Class 035, so the closest area of concern would be any other business offering similar computer‑based word‑processing or related software services under the same name. The record does not give Wordnet Ltd. control over every use of the word “WORDNET” in unrelated fields, and it is not on the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on Jan 28 1991, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use WORDNET for comparable computer‑processing services, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
