THE PETA GUIDE TO COMPASSIONATE LIVING

What this record means

The record shows that “THE PETA GUIDE TO COMPASSIONATE LIVING” was registered on the Principal Register on September 13, 2005, but the registration was cancelled on April 15, 2016 because the owner, the Foundation to Support Animal Protection, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered magazines and serial brochures that educate the public on animal rights and welfare, specifically promoting vegetarianism and reducing animal product use. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of educational print media about animal welfare. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that the owner no longer holds the registration. The prosecution history shows a typical sequence of office actions and amendments leading to registration, but no supplemental register steps. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk than an active registration, but the historical claim over the same subject matter still warrants caution.
