TAIL WAGGIN TUTORS

What this record means

The record shows that “TAIL WAGGIN TUTORS” is a live, registered service mark owned by Therapy Dogs International, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. The mark is on the Principal Register and covers education services, specifically providing tutoring in the field of reading. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same educational tutoring context, especially where the services involve reading instruction. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Tail Waggin” or “Tutors” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence with a single office action and amendment, leading to registration on July 22, 2008. The latest maintenance event was the renewal of the registration on March 1, 2018, which extended the mark’s life for another ten years. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the tutoring field suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if used for comparable services.
