R KEEP IT REAL

What this record means

The record shows that “R KEEP IT REAL” is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register on May 12 2017 because the registrant, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration to keep the registration alive. The registration covered Class 002 goods—toner and ink cartridges for printers and photocopiers and ink for printing—and Class 009 goods—printers for computers and computers themselves. A similar name used in connection with those types of printing or computer equipment would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Samsung control over every possible use of the words “R KEEP IT REAL.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the normal examination and later cancellation steps. 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 mark in the same printer or computer market.
