What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BRIM” is dead and was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Computers and Structures, Inc., a corporation organized in California. The mark covered computer programs for structural and engineering applications, specifically bridge design, bridge construction modeling, and bridge design and construction analysis and instructional manuals sold as a unit, all under class 009. Because the goods are highly specialized software for bridge engineering, a similar name used in that exact field would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds the mark, but the record does not give anyone control over every use of the word “BRIM.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in bridge‑engineering software, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with this abandoned mark.
