OPENCODE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark OPENCODE is abandoned; the last status event was an abandonment on May 19 1992 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Open Software Foundation, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The application covered Class 009 goods described as operating system computer programs, graphical user interface computer programs, and various software for creating open, hardware‑neutral or distributed computing environments and for facilitating communication among computers; a similar name used for comparable software would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “OPENCODE” in other fields or for unrelated products. Because the filing was on the Principal Register but never issued a registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed in September 1991, a non‑final action in December 1990, and the ultimate abandonment in May 1992, with no enforcement actions recorded. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market software that overlaps the listed computer‑program descriptions.
