DEATHRAY

What this record means

The record shows that DEATHRAY is a cancelled Principal Register service mark, filed by Gregory Brown, Victor Damiani and Dana Gumbiner Partnership, The, a California partnership; the registration was cancelled on September 23 2006 because the owners did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to class 041 “entertainment services in the nature of a live vocal and instrumental group,” so a later use of the same or similar name in that exact type of performance would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall outside the scope shown here. Because the registration was on the Principal Register, not the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the usual amendment and approval steps before the mark entered the register and later lapsed. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 filing, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a live music act under the same name, but it does not automatically block other kinds of products or services.
