.TEST

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “.TEST” is live and registered on the Supplemental Register, owned by Parasoft Corporation, a California‑organized corporation. The registration covers computer software for performing tests of computer‑written code for a particular internet protocol framework, listed under class 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same technical software testing niche; uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history reveals that the examiner initially refused the mark for descriptiveness, the applicant amended the claim, and the mark was ultimately accepted on the Supplemental Register—this sequence indicates the mark was deemed descriptive but still registrable in a narrower sense. The most recent status event is the renewal on May 13, 2016, and no later maintenance or enforcement actions appear in the supplied data. Because the mark is Supplemental, it does not confer the same breadth of protection as a Principal Register mark, but it still signals that the owner has a federally registered claim over that specific software testing terminology. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern if the new use falls within the same software testing domain.
