READING SOUL MATES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “READING SOUL MATES” is no longer active; it was cancelled on July 17 2015 because the owner, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Trident Area, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on December 16 2008 for two classes: 016, which covers printed manuals for reading and literacy programs that pair older students with younger children, and 041, which covers the educational services of conducting those same programs. Because the goods and services are specific to reading and literacy education, a similar name used in unrelated fields would be a farther concern, while a name used for reading‑related publications or programs would raise the closest record‑based concern. The history shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action after publication, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the earlier registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in the reading‑education niche.
