WORDINOES

What this record means

The record shows that WORDINOES (registration 4049574) is cancelled; the USPTO cancelled the registration on June 8 2018 because the owner, Mark Fletcher, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead · cancelled.” The registration covered only class 028 goods – board games, card games, educational card games, equipment sold as a unit for playing board or card games, chips, memory games, parlor and party games – so a similar name used for anything in that gaming niche would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDINOES” outside those listed goods. This was a Principal Register registration, not a Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history shows a normal path to registration followed by a later failure to maintain it. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2018, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a game‑related brand with a similar name.
