WORDERACER

What this record means

The record shows that WORDERACER is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment entered on February 4 2003 and the owner listed as Kevin Quigg, an individual. The filing covered only one class, 009, describing “text editing software accessible via a global computer network,” so a later use of a similar name in any software‑related service would be the closest area of concern based on this record. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDERACER” in unrelated fields. Because the mark never reached registration on either the Principal or Supplemental Register, the prosecution history ends with the abandonment and shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a comparable name for software, but the risk is limited to that specific digital‑editing context.
