PELOTON

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PELOTON” is dead and was abandoned by Medtronic, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The abandoned application was for medical guidewires in class 010, and the abandonment occurred after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request following the Notice of Allowance on April 7, 2009. Because the mark is no longer active, the record does not give Medtronic control over the word in any other goods or services. The closest concern would be for products or services that are medical guidewires or closely related medical devices. The prosecution history shows a final refusal, a subsequent request for reconsideration, and a Notice of Allowance, but the mark never entered the Principal Register. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a limited risk confined to the specific medical guidewire category, but it does not eliminate potential concerns in other areas.
