What this record means
The record shows that the mark “XCELL” was registered on the Principal Register on September 2, 2003, but the registration was cancelled on April 10, 2010 because the owner, Fred Clementi, did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark covered electrical and scientific apparatus that allow batteries of one size to be used in place of another, specifically devices that adapt AAA cells to AA, C or D cells, AA cells to C or D cells, or C cells to D cells. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same narrow category of battery‑adapting devices. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only shows that the owner failed to maintain the registration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the goods or services are in the same battery‑adapting niche.
