ECOTONES

What this record means

The record shows that ECOTONES is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Adaptive Sound Technologies, Inc.; the cancellation was entered on Dec 25 2015 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 009 goods – essentially apparatus for recording, transmitting, processing or reproducing sound and related consumer electronic products such as audio amplifiers, speakers, home‑theater systems, cables, power converters and electronic sound‑mixing equipment. A later‑stage use of the same word in a similar audio‑electronics context would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of “ECOTONES.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from allowance to registration and then to cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same audio‑equipment market, but the risk is lower for unrelated product categories.
