AFTER HOURS LIMOUSINE

What this record means

The record shows that AFTER HOURS LIMOUSINE, filed by AFTER HOURS LIMOUSINE INC, a Massachusetts corporation, was abandoned on July 17 2003 after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal, so the mark is not live or registered. The only listed service is “LIMOUSINE SERVICE” in International Class 042, which means the concern is limited to transportation‑related limousine services; a similar name used for unrelated goods such as clothing or software would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “AFTER HOURS” or “LIMOUSINE.” The prosecution history shows an initial allowance, a final refusal mailed on November 7 2002, and the subsequent abandonment, but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a limousine‑service brand, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO found a conflict in that specific area.
