What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CROSSFLOW EXPANDER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Ebara International Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on December 23, 2008 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 007 goods of fluid‑driven electric power generators. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but it does indicate that a similar name could raise concern for the same type of equipment. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action and an amendment before abandonment, but no supplemental register status. The latest event is the abandonment notice on April 23, 2010, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the closest record‑based concern lies in the fluid‑driven electric power generator market, and the abandoned status suggests the risk is lower but not eliminated.
