GIVING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the mark GIVING COLOR TO PEOPLE’S LIVES is dead – it was abandoned on May 9 2011 because the required Statement of Use was never filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the history contains no later maintenance or renewal actions. The owner listed is Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V., a corporation organized in the Netherlands. The registration covered a range of paint‑related goods and services, including paints, varnishes, lacquers, colorants, paint‑applying machines, hand tools, adhesive masking tape, advisory services for building refurbishment and decorative painting, paint‑mixing services, and custom‑painting design (classes 002, 007, 008, 016, 017, 037, 040, 042). Because the mark was never issued on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note; the abandonment notice is the latest meaningful event, and the file shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. While the record limits its concern to the listed paint‑related categories, it does not give the owner control over every possible use of the phrase. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name that will be used for similar coating or decorative‑painting products or services.
