THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE

What this record means

The record shows that “THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the owner listed is The Remembrance Foundation, a Nevada corporation. The filing covered Class 017 goods described as “Books; other printed materials and other publications containing biographical information about living and deceased persons,” with a first use claim of December 29 1996 and a commercial use date of January 21 1997. Because the protection sought was limited to those printed‑matter services, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, software, clothing, or food—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another publisher offering biographical books could encounter the closest record‑based concern. The prosecution history notes a non‑final office action in December 1998, assignment to an examiner in November 1998, and an abandonment on July 22 1999 for failure to respond, which is the most recent status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a comparable book‑related imprint, but the abandonment means the record does not block all uses of the wording.
