WINWIN

What this record means

The record shows that “WINWIN” is an abandoned application – it was never turned into a live registration – and the owner listed is Advanced Wireless Communications, Inc., a California corporation. The filing covered class 009 goods described as “computer hardware; computer software for the wireless transmission of digital data,” so the closest area of concern would be any other mark used on similar computer‑hardware or wireless‑data software products. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WINWIN,” especially outside that technical field. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history simply notes that a Notice of Allowance was issued on Feb 20 1996 and the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use, leading to abandonment on Aug 21 1996. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name in the same tech niche, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
