PS45

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PS45” is no longer live; it was cancelled on September 6 1999 because the owner, ChariotStar, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on March 2 1993 for the Principal Register and covered optical contact lenses under class 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark was used for optical contact lenses beginning in March 1987. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered before being cancelled. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations after publication appear in the supplied history. If you’re thinking of a similar name, the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in optical contact lenses, so caution is warranted.
