ALMOST FAMOUS

What this record means

The record shows that “ALMOST FAMOUS” is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by Almost Famous, LLC; the cancellation was entered on Dec 22 2017 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered entertainment services in class 041 – specifically on‑going reality‑talent‑search, comedy and variety TV programs (excluding culinary arts) as well as television‑show production, music production and publishing – and online social‑networking services in class 045. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for TV‑type entertainment or social‑networking platforms, but the record does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through the usual filing, allowance and registration steps before being cancelled; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable name in the same entertainment or online‑networking fields.
