What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GERALDINE’S COTTAGE ADULT LIFE CENTER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Twelve Gates. LLC, a corporation organized in Virginia. The mark was filed on October 15, 2001 on an intent‑to‑use basis and was assigned to the Principal Register, but it never became active. The only goods or services listed are adult day care and community services under class 042. Because the mark was never registered, it does not grant control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on December 26, 2001 and an abandonment on September 29, 2002. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the adult day care or community services area, but the abandoned status means there is no active enforcement signal from this record.
