What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CROSSFLOW” is dead; it was abandoned by Bank of America Corporation because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was applied for as a service mark on August 28 2007 and was published for opposition on February 26 2008. The goods and services listed are financial services, specifically brokerage services for matching a buyer and seller for securities trades in class 036. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same financial brokerage context, but the record does not give the owner control over all uses of the word “CROSSFLOW.” The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication and entered on the Principal Register, but it was never allowed or registered. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, yet the specific brokerage services area remains a potential point of concern.
