DEATHLANDS

What this record means

The record shows that the DEATHLANDS application is dead – it was abandoned on May 5 2006 because the owner never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is Harlequin Enterprises Limited, a Canadian corporation. The only goods covered are “motion picture films, pre‑recorded video tapes and CDs all featuring live‑action, comedy, action and/or animation” in International Class 009, so a similar name used for entertainment media of that type would be the closest record‑based concern; uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Harlequin control over every possible use of the word DEATHLANDS, only over the specific media described. The prosecution history shows the usual steps for an intent‑to‑use filing, a Notice of Allowance, several extensions of time to file a Statement of Use, and finally an abandonment notice when no use was shown. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated July 6 2006, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or court actions, so no enforcement signals appear. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market films or similar video content under a comparable name.
