What this record means
The record shows that the mark MISS INFORMATION is dead – it was abandoned on March 10, 1997 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Net Week Inc., a Delaware corporation. The only goods covered are “syndicated column appearing in newsletters, magazines and journals that deals with interactive electronic media issues” in class 016, so a similar name used for any kind of printed or electronic media column would be the closest area of concern; uses outside that narrow description are not captured by this filing. Because the registration was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the usual examination steps, a notice of allowance and a statement‑of‑use filing before the abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on March 10, 1997, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a column‑type service with a comparable name.
