EXCEL-G

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “EXCEL‑G” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is KYB AMERICA LLC, a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark was filed on April 2, 2002 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was registered on the Principal Register for class 012, covering automotive shocks and struts. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the specific goods—automotive shocks and struts—remain the closest area of concern. The prosecution history indicates a non‑final action mailed on August 12, 2002, followed by assignment to an examiner on August 6, 2002, and finally abandonment on April 11, 2003. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk lies in using it for automotive shock or strut products, where the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim in that narrow field.
