PURPLE

What this record means

The record shows that “PURPLE” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Purple Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation; the cancellation was entered on November 17 2017 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The registration covered three classes: Class 009 (relay equipment for deaf and hard‑of‑hearing persons such as videophones, text telephones, PDAs and computer hardware), Class 038 (providing transmission of information to deaf or hearing‑impaired persons via the Internet, telephone and wireless devices, including telecommunications relay services) and Class 041 (sign‑language interpretation and translation services). A similar name used in any of those specific technology or communication services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those descriptions are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “PURPLE.” No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2017; no opposition or cancellation proceedings are visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same assistive‑technology or communication fields.
