ALMOST FAMILY. THE NEXT BEST THING TO REAL FAMILY.
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the mark ALMOST FAMILY. THE NEXT BEST THING TO REAL FAMILY was registered on the Principal Register but was cancelled on September 30, 2022 because the owner, ALMOST FAMILY, INC., a Delaware corporation, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration; that is the most recent status event. The registration covered only Class 042 services – “Home and Community Based Health Care Services [and Adult Day Care Services]” – so a similar name used in health‑care or adult‑day‑care contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in unrelated fields. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same health‑service area.
