WOODTAPE

What this record means

The record shows that WOODTAPE is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by SURTECO USA INC.; its registration was cancelled on July 3 2020 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered Class 019 goods – wooden and plastic veneers, veneer laminate sheets and edge‑banding for construction, furniture, cabinetry and other woodworking – and Class 042 services – custom design and quality‑assurance services for those same edge‑banding and laminate products. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for comparable building‑material or design services, but the record does not give SURTECO control over every possible use of the word “WOODTAPE” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the mark was granted on December 1 2009, maintained through Section 8 filings in 2015, and then cancelled for lack of a later filing. No oppositions, cancellations by a third party or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market veneer or edge‑banding products under a similar name.
