"TAIL WAGGIN' TUTORS" CHILDREN READING TO DOGS TDI'S READING PROGRAM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TAIL WAGGIN’ TUTORS” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Therapy Dogs International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. The registration covers education services, specifically tutoring in the field of reading, as listed in class 041. A similar name used for tutoring or reading programs would raise the closest concern because the goods and services are exactly those protected by the mark. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “tutors,” “reading,” or “dogs” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a single office action and acceptance of the application, with no indication of a Supplemental Register sequence. The latest maintenance event was the renewal of the registration on March 1, 2018, and the next renewal is due ten years later. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, active registration in the same class suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the name is used for comparable tutoring services.
