GROOVE PHI GROOVE 1962

What this record means

The record shows that “GROOVE PHI GROOVE 1962” is cancelled – the Principal Register registration (No. 3858837) was voided on May 19 2017 because the owner, Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the status is listed as “dead · cancelled.” The registration covered only class 016 paper goods and printed matter, specifically “letterhead paper; newsletters in the field of information relating to a fraternal organization,” so a similar name used for those types of printed materials would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Groove Phi Groove” in other goods or services. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply shows the application’s progression to registration and later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use the same wording for similar printed‑matter services, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products.
