MOTHER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is William Robert Davis, Sr., an individual. The mark was filed as a service mark for education and entertainment services, specifically the production of animated or live‑action television commercials, films, Internet movies, animated video games, animated computer games, and animated character design, with first use in commerce in January 2001. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant control over the word “MOTHER” in any context, but it does indicate that a similar name used for the same or closely related services could raise a concern. The prosecution history shows a series of examiner assignments and a non‑final action in November 2004, followed by abandonment in June 2005. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name in the same entertainment or animation services, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the historical filing still signals that the owner once sought protection for that specific scope.
