What this record means
The record shows the mark KEEP IT SECURE KEEP US SECURE was cancelled, so it is not a live registration, and the listed owner is the National Security Agency, a federal agency of the United States. The registration covered a Class 042 scientific‑and‑technology service described as “promoting public awareness of the need to keep secure the critical infrastructure of the United States of America from the cyber‑threat.” Because the goods‑and‑services focus is on public‑awareness outreach about cyber‑security for U.S. critical infrastructure, a similar name used in that same context would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in unrelated fields. The last meaningful event was a Section 8 cancellation on March 1, 2008 for failure to file a required declaration; no later maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement activity, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable cyber‑security awareness program, but the cancellation means the mark no longer blocks new filings.
