NWA

What this record means

The record shows a cancelled Principal Register registration (Serial 77276928, Registration 3491584) that was owned by Northwest Airlines, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and the cancellation was entered on March 27 2015 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration; the history contains no opposition, cancellation, or court actions. The registration covered only Class 016 paper goods and printed matter, specifically airline flight schedules, travel brochures, frequent‑flyer publications, airline magazines, tickets, baggage tags, air waybills and related promotional literature, so a similar mark used on those kinds of printed travel materials would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Northwest Airlines control over every use of the letters “NWA” in other contexts or product categories. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2015, and no enforcement activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “NWA” for printed airline‑related items, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
