What this record means
The record shows that the mark “THE RANGE ROVERS” is dead, having been abandoned after publication because the applicant, Richard J. Sturtridge, filed an express abandonment. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register under class 041, covering entertainment services such as live country music performances and continuing visual and audiovisual programs featuring music and animation broadcast over television, satellite, audio and video media. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the specific entertainment services listed are the closest area of concern for a similar name. The prosecution history is empty, so no examination sequence is shown. The latest status event was the abandonment on January 27, 2009, and no further dates are supplied. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern if the new use involves comparable entertainment services.
