FAITH

What this record means

The record shows the application for “FAITH” is dead – it was abandoned on September 26, 1991 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Waters, L. Stephen, an individual. The filing covered only class 009 goods – pre‑recorded audio compact discs and audio cassettes featuring music of a religious nature – with a first use date of December 1, 1986 and use in commerce beginning in November 1987. Because the registration never issued and was limited to that narrow category, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FAITH,” but it does present the closest record‑based concern for anyone planning a similar name on religious music recordings or related audio media. The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed in March 1991 followed by abandonment in September 1991, and the supplied history contains no indication of oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you’re targeting the same type of religious audio product.
