What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” was filed by Samsung Corporation as a service mark on November 10, 2006 and was abandoned on January 30, 2007 when the applicant filed an express abandonment. The mark was never registered and is therefore not live. The goods and services listed under class 035 cover a wide range of advertising, business research, marketing, and related services. A similar name used in those or closely related business‑to‑business advertising or marketing services would create the closest record‑based concern. Because the mark was abandoned, the record does not give Samsung control over the word “Samsung” in any other context. The prosecution history shows no opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity, and the supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration to confront, but the broad advertising and business services listed remain a potential area of concern if the new name is used in those fields.
