KEEP IT PRIVATE

What this record means

The record shows that “KEEP IT PRIVATE” is an abandoned service‑mark application, filed by BuZZProps, Inc., a Virginia corporation, and its status was set to abandoned on November 3 2008 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only class listed is 038 – Communication Services – specifically “Providing private and secure real‑time electronic communication over a computer network,” so a similar name used for that type of online messaging or secure chat service would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give BuZZProps control over every use of the words “keep it private” in unrelated fields. Because the mark was never entered on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on November 3 2008, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable name for secure communication services, but the risk is limited to that specific service description.
