OPENNOTE

What this record means

The record shows that OPENNOTE is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Kiwi Computer, Inc.; the registration was cancelled on July 27 2002 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The only goods listed are “notebook computers; mobile computers; portable computers; laptop computers” in International Class 009, so a later use of OPENNOTE for similar computer hardware would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Kiwi Computer control over every possible use of the word OPENNOTE, only over the specific computer products listed. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from allowance to registration and then to cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for computer equipment.
