FIRSTSHOT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark FIRSTSHOT was abandoned, so it is not live, registered, pending or cancelled, and the applicant listed was DAVIDSON SUPPLY COMPANY, a corporation organized in North Carolina. The only goods shown are “semi‑automatic pistols” in International Class 013, with a first use date of December 1, 1991. Because the filing covered firearms, a later user of the same word for anything unrelated—say a coffee shop or software—would face the closest record‑based concern only in the narrow area of firearms; the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “FIRSTSHOT.” The prosecution history indicates the application was assigned to an examiner, a non‑final office action was mailed on April 23, 1993, and the file was abandoned on December 30, 1993 after the applicant failed to respond. No opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market guns or related accessories under the same name.
