YELLOW

What this record means

The record shows that the “YELLOW” mark, filed by Epana Networks Inc. (a Delaware corporation), is no longer live – it was abandoned on May 4 2005 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the status is listed as “Dead · Refused.” The only goods listed are “telephone calling cards, not magnetically encoded” in International Class 016, so a later user of the word YELLOW for paper‑related items, printed matter, or similar prepaid phone cards would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Epana Networks control over every use of the word YELLOW in other product areas. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on May 5 2005, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market prepaid phone cards or similar printed items under the same name.
