SEA

What this record means

The record shows that the “SEA” application filed by Special Devices, Inc. is dead – it was abandoned on Jan 11 2002 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are “networked pyrotechnic ignitors comprising a bus controller, cabling and pyrotechnic initiators with distributed electronic logic units” in International Class 13, so a later user of the word SEA in that very technical fireworks‑control arena would face the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Special Devices any control over every other use of the word in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application moved from approval for publication to a Notice of Allowance and then to abandonment when use was not shown, but it never reached the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market similar pyrotechnic control products under the same name.
