THE PASSION TO IMPROVE LIVES

What this record means

The record shows that “THE PASSION TO IMPROVE LIVES” is abandoned, with the last status event being an abandonment notice on August 17 2009 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Roche Diagnostics GmbH, a German limited‑liability company. The application covered scientific and diagnostic products, specifically in‑vitro diagnostic reagents and control solutions (class 001), diagnostic reagents and test strips for clinical labs (class 005), scientific instruments such as clinical chemistry and immunochemistry analyzers plus related computer hardware and software (class 009), and diagnostic instruments like blood‑glucose meters and insulin pumps (class 010). A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those laboratory, medical‑diagnostic, or scientific‑instrument goods or services, but the record does not extend control to unrelated fields such as consumer branding, education, or general health‑care services. The prosecution history shows the application proceeded to a Notice of Allowance, then required a Statement of Use, which was never submitted, leading to abandonment; no oppositions or cancellations appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable mark in the diagnostic or scientific‑instrument arena.
