ALPHABET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner listed is STYLE COUNCIL, S.L., a limited liability company organized in Spain, and the mark was filed on August 1, 1996 on an intent‑to‑use basis. The abandoned goods are boots, shoes, slippers, footwear and T‑shirts in class 025. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Alphabet.” The prosecution history indicates a non‑final action mailed on October 24, 1996, followed by an abandonment on July 21, 1997 for failure to respond or a late response. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations is recorded. The latest status event is the abandonment on July 21, 1997. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the footwear and apparel space, but the abandoned status means the risk is limited to that narrow area and does not extend to all uses of the word.
