SEA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SEA was registered on the Principal Register to Lawson Associates, Inc. (a Minnesota corporation) but was cancelled on April 21, 2007 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. The only goods listed are “computer programs with integrated business applications for use in the areas of accounting, human resources, product distribution and retailing” in International Class 009, meaning the closest record‑based concern would be for software that performs those business functions. The record does not give Lawson Associates control over every use of the word SEA in other industries or contexts. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2007; no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows normal examination steps, a notice of allowance and a statement‑of‑use filing, but no oppositions or other enforcement actions are visible. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use SEA for similar business‑software products, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
