AIR BAG

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “AIR BAG” is dead and was abandoned by the owner, SERCO CORPORATION, THE, a corporation organized in Canada. The mark was filed on December 14, 2000 on the Supplemental Register under an intent‑to‑use basis and covered the goods “dock levelers incorporating air bags” in class 007. Because the mark was never registered on the Principal Register, it does not give the owner exclusive control over the phrase in all contexts. The prosecution history indicates that the application was initially mailed a non‑final action, then a petition to revive was granted, but the applicant ultimately failed to respond and the application was abandoned on May 7, 2003. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the niche of dock‑leveling equipment; use in unrelated fields may pose a lower risk, but the abandoned status does not eliminate potential confusion with the earlier, narrow‑scope claim.
