What this record means
The record shows that “THE STATE RATER” is an abandoned application, filed by individual Bertram F. Wakeley on June 3 1991, and it never moved beyond a Notice of Allowance because no Statement of Use was filed, leading to abandonment on October 8 1992. The only goods listed are a series of information books and worksheets that help readers assess state values, filed in class 016 (paper goods and printed matter). A similar name used for books, reports, or other printed materials would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as software or apparel would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE STATE RATER.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from publication for opposition to a Notice of Allowance and then abandonment. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable title for printed informational content.
