JAGUAR

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “JAGUAR” is dead and was abandoned by JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITED, a private company organized in the United Kingdom, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance in February 2010. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering shoes. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the footwear market, especially for shoes, but the record does not give the owner control over all uses of the word “JAGUAR.” The prosecution history shows a series of five Statement of Use extensions granted between 2010 and 2012, followed by an abandonment notice in March 2013. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For anyone thinking of using a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in shoes, so caution is advised when entering that market.
