MANUS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MANUS” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is The Flood Company, a corporation organized in Ohio, and the mark was filed on March 17 1999. The only goods listed are coatings in the nature of interior and exterior paints and protective coating coatings for use on wood, masonry, concrete and metal, first used in commerce in February 1988. Because the record covers only these paint and coating products, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a farther concern, while a name used for paint or coating products would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “MANUS.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on September 22 2000. For someone considering a similar name, the dead status suggests that the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific paint‑coating scope remains a potential point of caution if the new use overlaps that area.
