What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SUN CATCHERS” is no longer live; it was cancelled on February 28, 2004 because the registrant, Aptaker Co., Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on May 27, 1997 for class 009, covering sunglasses and eyeglasses. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same category of eyewear. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “SUN” or “CATCHERS” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path: application, publication, allowance, registration, and finally cancellation. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a name that includes “SUN CATCHERS” for sunglasses or eyeglasses, this cancelled registration still signals a potential risk in that specific goods area.
