ALPHABET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Creative Consortium, Inc., The, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered electrical and scientific apparatus, specifically gaming equipment such as gaming, gambling and slot machines, pre‑recorded interactive multimedia programs and computer software recorded on CD‑ROM for use in multimedia video game players and computers, and multimedia computer game software for individual or network users. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the gaming and multimedia software arena. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Alphabet.” No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on September 19, 2003. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific gaming and software goods remain a potential point of concern.
