PS4

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PS4” is no longer live; it was cancelled on December 13 2016 because the owner, General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on March 30 2010 for services in class 042, specifically consulting and design services for computer hardware, software, and network systems. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of technology consulting and software design. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the term “PS4,” only over the listed services. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of office actions and responses, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest event was the cancellation in 2016; no further dates appear. The supplied history shows no enforcement actions. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific technology‑consulting services remain a potential point of concern.
