SKINOREN

What this record means

The record shows that SKINOREN is a cancelled Principal Register mark (registration number 2905588) that was owned by Bayer Schering Pharma Aktiengesellschaft, an unincorporated association organized in Germany; the cancellation was entered on July 1 2011 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only one class—Class 005, pharmaceuticals—specifically “pharmaceutical products, namely preparations for the topical treatment of acne.” A later use of a similar name would raise the closest concern in the same acne‑treatment space, but the record does not extend control to unrelated goods or services. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, there is no Supplemental Register sequence to explain. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for acne‑related topical drugs, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products.
