What this record means
The record shows that the mark “COTTAGE CARE CONSTRUCTION” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Damian J. Ranelli, a sole proprietorship organized in Connecticut. The mark covered services in class 37, specifically building construction and repair, including painting, plumbing, roofing, framing and wiring. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same construction services area. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Cottage,” “Care,” or “Construction.” The prosecution history shows the applicant filed a petition to revive the application, but the abandonment notice was later issued and the mark was ultimately abandoned. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific construction services description still represents a potential area of concern if the new name is used in that same field.
