BECAUSE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY COUNT
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BECAUSE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY COUNT” is dead and was abandoned by SURGITRAC CORPORATION, a Georgia‑organized corporation, because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 010 goods, specifically counting and monitoring apparatus that track surgical sponges, sharps, fluids and other disposables used in surgical procedures. A similar name used for devices or systems that monitor surgical supplies would raise the closest concern, while unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. For anyone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern only if the new use involves surgical monitoring equipment; otherwise the risk is lower.
