ALPHABET
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET” was registered on the Principal Register on June 4, 2002, but it was cancelled under Section 8 on March 7, 2009 because the owner, Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, failed to file a declaration. The cancelled registration covered a range of vehicle‑related services, including business research and consulting about fuel use and vehicle repair, credit card and financing services, vehicle repair and maintenance, information services about vehicles, car rental, and travel agency services. Because the goods and services are all tied to vehicles and related business services, a new name that is similar and used in those same areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Alphabet.” The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, publication, and cancellation, with no opposition or court action recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name for vehicle‑related services, this cancelled mark suggests a meaningful risk of similarity.
