PURPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PURPLE was registered on the Principal Register to U‑tron Technologies, Inc. but was cancelled on Aug 24, 1998 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is no longer live. The only goods listed are “diskless computer workstations comprising PC compatible computers and a network interface” in International Class 009, meaning a similar name would raise the closest concern for computer hardware or networking equipment. The record does not give U‑tron control over every use of the word “purple” in other fields. The prosecution history shows the mark cleared examination, was published for opposition in Nov 1991, and entered the Principal Register in Feb 1992 before the later cancellation; there is no Supplemental Register involvement. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 1998, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name for similar computer‑hardware products.
