What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TEST” is dead and was abandoned by Nieman’s Ltd., a corporation organized in Iowa, because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The abandoned application was for goods in class 011, specifically a trailer light test system that includes trailer brake batteries, axle repair parts such as bearings, seals, nuts, cotter keys and grease, temperature alert monitors, a battery tester, and an under‑brake monitor. Because the application was abandoned, the owner no longer holds any rights to that mark on the Principal Register. The record does not give control over every use of the word “TEST”; it only shows that the owner had a claim in that narrow technical field. The prosecution history ends with an abandonment on September 20, 1996, and no enforcement actions are recorded. If you are thinking of using a similar name for comparable trailer‑testing equipment, this history suggests a meaningful concern in that specific product area.
