What this record means
The record shows that the mark “ELITE REALTORS OF NEW JERSEY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Dan And Fern, Inc., a corporation organized in New Jersey, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on November 16, 2007 and the abandonment was noted on October 1, 2008. The goods and services listed are real‑estate related services under class 036, including acquisition, brokerage, appraisal, consultation, listing, procurement, valuation, and leasing. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the real‑estate services area, especially for agencies or brokerage firms. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific services listed. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is recorded. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that, while the mark is no longer active, the abandoned application still shows that the owner once sought protection for real‑estate services, so using a very similar name in that field could still invite scrutiny.
