WORLDPERKS AUTO BUYING FOR MILES

What this record means

The record shows the mark WORLDPERKS AUTO BUYING FOR MILES was registered on the Principal Register to Northwest Airlines, Inc. but was cancelled on May 19 2007 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and not in force. The registration covered only one class—Class 035 advertising and business services—specifically “promoting the services of automobile dealers by awarding air‑transportation mileage points for automobile purchases.” A similar name used in that exact context would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that niche are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “worldperks,” “auto,” or “buying for miles.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from amendment to registration and then cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a service that rewards car purchases with airline miles, because the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that specific market.
