BRINGING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the mark BRINGING COLOR TO PEOPLE’S LIVES is dead – it was abandoned on May 9 2011 because the applicant never filed a Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and the history contains no later maintenance or renewal filings. The owner listed is Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V., a Dutch corporation. The registration covered paint‑related goods and services: paints, varnishes, lacquers, colorants, wood stains, priming preparations, painting machines and accessories, hand tools for painting, paint applicators and brushes, adhesive masking tape, advisory and information services for building refurbishment and decorative painting, paint‑mixing services, and custom‑painting design. A similar name would raise the strongest record‑based concern in those paint‑and‑coating categories, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in unrelated fields. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the standard refusal to grant registration after the applicant failed to show use. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for paint or coating products or related services.
