HTTP

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “HTTP” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The owner listed is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, an international intergovernmental organization organized in Switzerland. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register for class 035, covering advertising and business services, specifically computer services such as the development and promulgation of computer program and computer communications standards and the advocacy of the use of such standards. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of computer‑related services and standards promotion. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the word “HTTP.” The only visible enforcement signal is the abandonment; no oppositions or cancellations appear. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the computer‑services and standards space, but it does not preclude all other uses.
