ELSA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ELSA was registered to ELSA AMERICA, INC., a California corporation, on July 28 1992 but was cancelled on February 2 1999 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. The only goods listed are “computer graphics programs recorded on magnetic media and accompanying manuals” in International Class 009, meaning the closest area of concern would be software or related digital media that uses the name ELSA. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word ELSA in other industries or contexts. Because the registration was on the Principal Register and was later cancelled, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event in the file is the Section 8 cancellation in 1999, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market software or graphics programs under a similar name.
