What this record means
The record shows that “MADMAX OPTICS” was registered on the Principal Register on November 4, 2003, but the registration was cancelled on June 12, 2010 because the owner, MadMax Optics, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered computer software for designing, developing, manufacturing, testing and operating optical component systems and networks in class 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific software services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “MADMAX” or “OPTICS” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration without any supplemental register steps. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the earlier registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in that narrow software field.
