What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PS4” was registered on the Principal Register on March 26, 1991 for the class 009 goods of computer programs for use in the insurance industry, and it was cancelled on January 22, 2016 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Ams Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer provides exclusive rights, but the historical registration still indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific type of software. A similar name used for computer programs in the insurance sector would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action beyond the Section 8 failure, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the past registration suggests that the owner once viewed the mark as distinctive for that niche.
