ROBOLOCK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ROBOLOCK” is dead and was abandoned by Applied Concepts Inc., a corporation organized in Pennsylvania, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 008, covering hand tools such as locking pliers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of hand tools, especially locking pliers, since that is the only goods listed. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “ROBOLOCK”; it only applies to the specific goods described. The prosecution history shows a series of Statement of Use extensions, but no opposition or enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on September 2, 1998. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is potential confusion with the abandoned lock‑pliers mark in the same class.
