What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PELOTON TRADING CARDS COMPANY” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, J. Keith Dunbar, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was never registered; it was only published for opposition and then abandoned. The goods listed are trading cards featuring cyclists and cycling‑industry related products, a narrow category within class 016. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for trading cards or related paper goods, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published, and then abandoned, with no enforcement actions recorded. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on September 8, 1995. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still exists in the USPTO database and could create confusion for trading‑card products, though it does not block all uses of the words.
