What this record means
The record shows that WORDNIK SOCIETY, a Delaware corporation, holds a live Principal Register registration for the mark WORDNIK, filed in 2009 and renewed on April 27 2024; the registration covers dictionaries (Class 016), an online non‑downloadable searchable dictionary, thesaurus, rhyming dictionary and related blogs (Class 041), and non‑downloadable software that provides dictionary‑type data and customized web pages (Class 042). A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if it is used for any of those listed goods or services, because the USPTO filing specifically claims them. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDNIK” outside those categories. No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the prosecution history shows only routine filing, allowance, and renewal steps. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement signals. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable name in the same dictionary‑or software‑related space.
