OPENNOW!

What this record means

The record shows that the mark OPENNOW! is abandoned, with the last status dated March 27 1998 when the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed as OpenNow Technologies, Inc., a California corporation. The abandoned application covered three classes: Class 009 for computer software that provides on‑line services, interactive communications and data records; Class 016 for computer‑based training, manuals, books, CD‑ROM publications and multimedia presentations; and Class 042 for technical support over the telephone and Internet related to that software and on‑line database communications. Because the goods and services are focused on software, training materials and related technical support, a similar name used in those technology‑related areas would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that niche are farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history notes a non‑final action in June 1997 and the abandonment in March 1998, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same software‑and‑support space.
