MERRITT LIMOUSINE COMPANY

What this record means

The record shows that “MERRITT LIMOUSINE COMPANY” is an abandoned service‑mark application, filed on Jan 11 2010 by DavKar, Inc., a Connecticut corporation, and the USPTO marked it dead on Nov 4 2010 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action. The only goods listed are “Limousine services” in International Class 039, with a first use date of Oct 15 1995, so a similar name used for transportation or chauffeured‑vehicle services would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give DavKar, Inc. control over every use of the words “Merritt” or “Limousine” in unrelated industries. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on Nov 4 2010, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to offer limousine services under a similar name.
