NORTHWEST AIRLINES WORLD TERMINAL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark NORTHWEST AIRLINES WORLD TERMINAL is dead; it was abandoned on September 27, 2003 because the owner, Northwest Airlines, Inc., never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are “Airport terminal services” in International Class 039, so a similar name used for anything else—say, airline tickets, baggage handling or unrelated hospitality services—would fall outside the narrow scope the record actually covers. Because the registration never reached the Principal Register and was never maintained, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Northwest,” “Airlines,” or “Terminal.” The prosecution history shows the application moved from filing in January 2001, through publication for opposition and a Notice of Allowance, to abandonment after no use statement was filed. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan airport‑terminal‑related services under a similar name.
