FOR THE LOVE OF AUTOMOBILES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FOR THE LOVE OF AUTOMOBILES” is dead, having been abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Volkswagen of America, Inc., a corporation organized in New Jersey. The abandoned goods cover a wide range of vehicles and related parts, including automobiles, trucks, vans, sport utility vehicles, trailers, buses, trains, bicycles, motorcycles, snowmobiles, airplanes, boats, hot‑air balloons, and various structural and replacement parts for all of those goods. A similar name used for any of those vehicle types or parts would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment decision in 2005. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the vehicle or parts market could be seen as infringing the abandoned mark’s scope.
