AIR APPARENT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “AIR APPARENT” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Pankajkumar Shah, an individual. The abandoned application covered goods in classes 016 and 025, including paper goods such as letter‑size paper, posters, playing cards, and various printed materials, as well as clothing items like shirts, pants, jackets, and accessories. A similar name would raise the closest concern for uses that fall within those specific paper or clothing categories, especially if the goods are marketed under a similar style or for the same audience. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording “AIR APPARENT” in other contexts or classes. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed, assignment to an examiner, and eventual abandonment, with no enforcement actions recorded. The latest event is the abandonment on June 30, 1999. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific paper and clothing goods listed, but the mark’s dead status means there is no active registration to oppose.
