SANITEC

What this record means

The record shows that SANITEC is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after Illbruck, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension after the Notice of Allowance, and the abandonment was entered on May 17 1999. The only goods listed are “acoustical ceiling products, namely, ceiling tiles and baffles” in International Class 019, so a later user of a similar name would run into the closest record‑based concern if they also sell ceiling tiles, baffles or related acoustic ceiling items. The record does not give Illbruck control over every use of the word SANITEC in other industries. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market acoustic ceiling products under a similar name.
