ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE’S LIVES” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Oct 22 2012 because no Statement of Use or timely extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the history contains no later enforcement activity. The owner listed is Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V., a Dutch corporation, and the filing was for a Principal Register intent‑to‑use mark covering paints, varnishes, lacquers and related colorants (class 002), advisory services for building refurbishment and decorative painting (class 037), paint‑mixing services (class 040), and custom painting design and color‑matching advice (class 042). A similar name would be most concerning if used for any of those paint‑related products or services, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording in other fields. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Oct 22 2012, and no oppositions or cancellations appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market paint or color‑matching services under a comparable phrase.
