GROUNDED

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Glen D. Gomez, a performing rock band organized in the United States. The mark covered the service of “Performing Rock Band” under class 041, which is education and entertainment. A similar name used for a band or live music performance would raise the closest concern because the goods or services match exactly. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GROUNDED”; it only reflects the abandoned application for that specific service. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in February 2002 followed by abandonment in December 2002, with no further maintenance events. No enforcement activity is visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the exact service area still presents a potential concern.
