PERC POPPS

What this record means

The record shows that “PERC POPPS” is an abandoned application, filed by Roger P. Jackson, M.D., and the USPTO marked it dead after no Statement of Use was filed following the Notice of Allowance; the last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on April 23 2012. The only goods listed are spinal fixation devices—specifically polyaxial pedicle screws and related implant systems—in International Class 010, so a similar name used for medical implants or orthopedic hardware would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “PERC” or “POPPS” in unrelated fields, and because the mark never reached registration it never entered the Supplemental Register. The prosecution history shows the usual extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, but none resulted in a registration. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you’re planning a name for similar spinal‑device products, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
