SOUND CHECK MAGAZINE "IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC, IT'S ABOUT TIME" WWW.SOUNDCHECKMAGAZINE.COM - official mark drawing from the USPTO record

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOUND CHECK MAGAZINE “IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC, IT'S ABOUT TIME” www.soundcheckmagazine.com” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Sound Check Magazine, a corporation organized in the United States. The goods and services described are online music magazine services, including subscription sales, music reviews, and sound clips from CDs, all offered under the name of the magazine. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of online music publications and related subscription services. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Sound Check” or “Magazine” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action and an abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use is in the same online music magazine space.
