XCELL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XCELL” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Stryker Endoscopy, failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 23, 2002 and abandoned on February 3, 2004. It was on the Principal Register and covered the specific good of an anchor system for use in arthroscopic shoulder surgery in class 010. Because the record only lists that narrow medical device, a similar name would raise the closest concern only if it were used for comparable surgical equipment or related medical devices. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. For anyone considering a similar name, the visible risk is limited to that specific medical device area, but the mark’s dead status removes any active claim.
