What this record means
The record shows that the mark “TELE-PCS TELE-POSTAL CARRIER SERVICE TAKE YOUR POSTAL OUT OF THE SKY AND PUT IT ON THE WIRE!” was registered on the Principal Register on December 15, 2009, but it was cancelled on July 22, 2016 because the registrant, TELE‑PCS INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The goods and services listed are transportation and storage of goods, packaging articles for transportation, and delivery of goods using modern technological communication tools to expedite and accomplish “Same Day Delivery.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of parcel delivery or same‑day logistics services. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the mark still exists in the USPTO database as a cancelled registration, and the owner may still have rights in other classes or through other filings. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path from application to publication to registration, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a name that sounds like this, be aware that the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in the same service area, so proceed with caution.
