JAGUAR

What this record means

The record shows the application for “JAGUAR” is dead – it was abandoned on August 25 2000 after the applicant, Douglas R. Waugh, failed to respond to an Office action, and the USPTO lists no later activity. The filing covered adult gaming equipment such as slot machines (with or without video output) and other casino‑type gaming machines, plus casino operation services and leasing of that equipment, all in classes 009 and 041. A similar name used for anything in those gambling‑related categories would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that niche fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “JAGUAR.” It was a Principal Register filing; the prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment in June 1999 but the case still ended in abandonment, and no oppositions or cancellations appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark in the casino‑gaming space.
