WINDWINGS

What this record means

The record shows that WINDWINGS is an abandoned application, marked dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment dated March 31 1999, and the owner listed as French’s, a corporation organized in Minnesota. The only goods covered are “wings for assisting skaters, etc. with movement and other sporting apparel, namely, jerseys and hats” in International Class 025, so a similar name used for clothing or skating‑related accessories would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word WINDWINGS, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in October 1997, a final refusal mailed in April 1998, and the eventual abandonment in March 1999, indicating the application never reached registration. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market skating‑related apparel under a similar name.
