ELEANOR

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ELEANOR was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. 2324306) to Churchill Software Inc., a Michigan corporation, but the registration was cancelled on Dec 2 2006 because the owner failed to file a proper Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only listed goods are “computer software for use in forecasting consumer demand of promoted goods” in International Class 009, meaning a similar name would raise the closest concern if you’re offering software that predicts consumer buying patterns or related analytical tools. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Eleanor” in other industries or contexts. The prosecution history shows the application was filed in March 1999, approved for publication, and ultimately registered in February 2000 before the later cancellation; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if your product falls within the same software forecasting niche, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
