SANITEX

What this record means

The record shows that the SANITEX application filed by Precare Corp., a New York corporation, is dead; it was abandoned on July 1 2003 after the owner failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are “Feminine Hygiene products, namely sanitary napkins” in International Class 5, so a later user of the name SANITEX for anything in that narrow category would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Precare Corp. control over every possible use of the word SANITEX, especially for unrelated products or services. Because the mark was never entered on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on July 1 2003, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market feminine‑hygiene items under a similar name.
