SECUREKEES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “SECUREKEES” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment dated Nov 18 1999 and the owner listed as CERTCO, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company. The filing covered computer hardware and software that interface with databases, networked computers and servers for electronic‑commerce security, as well as printed computer manuals and newsletters, online banking services, data‑and‑voice‑encryption services, and cryptographic voice‑security services. A similar name used in any of those technology‑security or financial‑service contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those classes are farther from the scope shown. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “securekees.” The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final and final refusals leading to abandonment, but no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same security‑technology space.
