What this record means
This record shows that the mark “TEST” is dead and was abandoned by YOKOHAMA RUBBER CO., LTD., THE, a corporation organized in Japan. The application was filed on April 1, 1993, and the mark was allowed on December 21, 1993, but the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request, so the mark was abandoned on June 22, 1994. The only goods listed are golf clubs in class 028, so the closest concern would be for a similar name used on golf clubs or related sporting equipment. The record does not give the mark control over any other uses of the word “TEST.” No enforcement activity is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on June 22, 1994. For someone thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the specific class of golf clubs remains the narrow area where a similar name could still raise a concern.
