INSIDEOUT WRENCH

What this record means

The record shows that INSIDEOUT WRENCH is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the applicant, Leading Edge Tools, Inc., failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated November 23 2004. The filing was for a tool used in the plumbing trade that removes and installs pipes, flanges and drains, classified in International Class 007. Because the registration never issued, the record does not give Leading Edge Tools control over every use of the words “insideout wrench,” but it does indicate a concrete concern for any later mark that is used on the same type of plumbing tools. The prosecution history shows the application was assigned to an examiner, received a non‑final action on April 26 2004, and then was abandoned when no response was filed. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for plumbing‑related tools, since the existing filing already covers that niche.
