WORDFRAME

What this record means

The record shows the mark WORDFRAME is cancelled and therefore not a live registration; it was owned by Michael Edward Corbin, an individual, and the registration on the Principal Register was terminated on Feb 11 2011 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The only goods listed are “mounted paintings, photographs, greeting cards, and lithographs that contain word captions,” all classified in Paper Goods & Printed Matter (class 016), so a similar name used on comparable visual art or printed items would present the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDFRAME.” The prosecution history shows the mark moved through approval, a notice of allowance, and eventual registration before the later cancellation; no supplemental‑register steps appear. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for art‑related printed products.
