TEST

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TEST” was registered on the Principal Register on June 9 1992 by Polaroid Corporation, a Delaware corporation, but it was cancelled on December 14 1998 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered the specific good of a magazine issued periodically in the field of photography. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer has enforceable rights, and the record does not give Polaroid control over all uses of the word “TEST.” The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered before the cancellation. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be the use of “TEST” in a photography‑related magazine; otherwise, the record suggests minimal risk in unrelated fields.
