AINOTAP

What this record means

The record shows that the mark AINOTAP is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Claude Abou‑Sayf of a partnership organized in Hawaii, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was held on the Principal Register and covered bumper stickers and stickers, which are paper goods and printed matter. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of printed stickers, but the record does not give the owner control over all uses of the word “AINOTAP” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was published for opposition, allowed, and then abandoned without any further examination or supplemental registration. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking at a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related field.
