WORDSTER

What this record means

The record shows that WORDSTER, owned by Wordster, Inc., was a Principal Register service mark that has been cancelled; the cancellation was entered on Oct 13 2017 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now dead. The registration covered Class 041 services – specifically providing on‑line non‑downloadable electronic dictionaries and thesauruses and an interactive language‑learning website – so a similar name used for any online language‑tool or educational platform would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Wordster, Inc. control over every possible use of the word “WORDSTER” in unrelated fields. There is no supplemental‑register activity shown, and the prosecution history contains only routine office‑action steps and a publication for opposition in Dec 2010. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable online language service.
