JAGUAR

What this record means

The record shows a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 2570362) for the mark JAGUAR owned by HOYA PHOTONICS, INC., a California corporation; the cancellation was entered on Feb 21 2009 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 009 – “LASERS FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS, EXCLUDING IN VIVO MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS,” with a first use date of Mar 23 2001, so a similar name used on laser equipment or related scientific apparatus would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give HOYA control over every use of the word JAGUAR, especially in unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, was allowed on the Principal Register, and later was cancelled for non‑filing of the Section 8 maintenance. No opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement action appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market laser‑related scientific devices under a similar name.
