What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XCELL” is dead and was abandoned by the owner, Steven M. Self, a partnership organized in California. The application was filed on October 9, 1992, and the abandonment was recorded on September 17, 1993, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 003, covering cosmetics and cleaning goods such as soap, cleaning products, and spot remover, with first use on September 16, 1992. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in all contexts, but the record indicates that a similar name used for soap, cleaning products, or spot remover could raise the closest concern. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, yet the specific goods listed remain the most relevant area of potential concern.
