SANTEE COOPER HOME

What this record means

The record shows that “SANTEE COOPER HOME” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by the South Carolina Public Service Authority, a state agency, and it has been renewed as of January 3 2020. The registration covers advertising and business services that promote energy‑efficient home building and retrofits, online cataloging of those programs, rebate offerings, and related hypertext links; it also includes financial services that provide temporary loans for energy‑efficient home improvements, as well as the transmission, distribution and generation of electricity for residential use. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those energy‑efficiency, loan or utility‑related services, because the listed goods are narrowly focused on that area. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Santee,” “Cooper” or “Home” in unrelated fields. No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration without descriptiveness refusals. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market energy‑efficiency or utility services under a comparable name.
