TRUCKPILOT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TRUCKPILOT” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead, having been cancelled because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Maphys, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The goods covered were computer software that generates highway route information for truck operators, a fairly narrow technical field. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same software or logistics‑related services, but the record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history indicates the mark was accepted and registered in 1996, with a Section 8 cancellation in 2007, and no further maintenance or enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents. Because the mark is cancelled, there is no active enforcement signal in the record. If you are considering a similar name, be aware that the cancelled status removes the legal protection that once existed, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific software niche.
