What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AIR BAG” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Dock Products Canada Inc., failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on April 12, 2002 and the abandonment was recorded on May 7, 2003. The only goods listed are dock levelers, class 007. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context, but the closest concern would be for products or services that are dock levelers or related equipment. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with no opposition or cancellation events, and there is no visible enforcement activity in the supplied record. For someone thinking of using a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent the narrow area where a conflict could arise.
