JAGUAR

What this record means

The record shows that the “JAGUAR” application filed by JAGUAR CARS LIMITED, a United Kingdom corporation, is dead – it was abandoned on March 10 2002 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The only goods listed are in International Class 028 and cover tennis rackets, skis, ski poles, ski goggles, snorkel fins, flippers and goggles, scuba masks, snorkels, fins and mouthpieces, croquet sets, holiday tree ornaments and polo mallets, so a similar name used for those sporting‑and‑recreation items would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “JAGUAR.” The prosecution history shows a series of five extensions of time to file a Statement of Use before the eventual abandonment, but the mark never reached registration on the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on June 15 2002, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market comparable sporting goods under a similar name.
