REMEMBRANCE INSTITUTE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark REMEMBRANCE INSTITUTE was abandoned on Jan 22 1998 after the applicant, UNITED FAMILY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, filed an express abandonment, so it is not a live or registered mark. The only goods and services listed are “funeral insurance underwriting and agency services; and providing financing for funerals” in International Class 036, which means a similar name would raise the closest concern only in the area of funeral‑related insurance and financing. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Remembrance Institute” in other industries or contexts. Because the registration was on the Principal Register and the prosecution history is empty, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment filing in January 1998, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the name for funeral‑insurance services, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
