BACK TO EARTH

What this record means

The record shows that “BACK TO EARTH” is not a live filing – the application was abandoned and a petition to revive was denied, so the mark is dead and never entered the register; the owner listed is Bruno Hasler and Thomas Hasler Partnership, The, a Swiss partnership. The only goods covered are musical sound recordings on compact disc, tape‑cassettes, mini‑disc, digital audio tape, digital compact cassettes and video tapes, so a similar name used for music recordings would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. Because the filing never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Back to Earth.” The prosecution history shows the application moved through examination, received a Notice of Allowance, but then was abandoned for lack of a use statement and the revival request was rejected, which is why the status remains dead. The latest meaningful event is the November 2 , 2005 denial of the petition to revive, and the supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or court actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market music recordings under a similar name.
