PURPLE

What this record means

The record shows that “PURPLE” is an abandoned application – it was never turned into a live registration – and the owner listed is U.S.A. Enterprises Miami Co., Inc., a Florida corporation. The filing covered only class 003 cosmetics, specifically hand and body lotions, personal deodorant creams for face and body, hair moisturizers and pressed face powder, so a similar name used on those types of beauty or personal‑care products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over every possible use of the word “PURPLE,” especially outside cosmetics. The prosecution history shows the application was approved for publication, received a Notice of Allowance on September 14 1993, but was abandoned on March 15 1994 because no Statement of Use was filed. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand cosmetics with the same name, but the risk is limited to the narrow goods listed.
