WORDSCAPES

What this record means

The record shows that WORDSCAPES is a cancelled Principal Register service mark, owned by Mark E. Powell, and it was removed on March 24 2007 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, which is required to keep a registration alive. The mark covered business management services in class 035 and custom writing, graphic illustration, and graphic art design services in class 042, all tied to the wording “WORDSCAPES.” A similar name used for those same types of services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed normally—publication, opposition window, registration—until the Section 8 cancellation, and no opposition or other enforcement activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for business‑management or graphic‑design services.
