SPORTY JET SET

What this record means

The record shows that “SPORTY JET SET” is a cancelled service mark – the registration was cancelled on Nov 25 2016 because the owner, American Express Marketing & Development Corp., did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the record lists no later activity. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 036, specifically “promoting the use of charge card and credit card accounts through the administration of incentive award programs in order to attract more business to merchants,” so a similar name used in any credit‑card‑related incentive or merchant‑attraction program would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Sporty Jet Set” in unrelated fields. This mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register; it was granted on the Principal Register and later cancelled. The prosecution history shows routine filing steps and a notice of allowance in 2009, but no oppositions or other enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable financial‑services incentive program, though the cancellation does limit the scope of the existing claim.
