What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BUY OWNER ADVANTAGE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Vincent B. Whitaker, an individual. The mark was filed on May 19, 2004 and abandoned on August 7, 2005. It covered services in class 035, specifically advertising and business services related to real estate resale, listings, and purchases for buyers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those real‑estate‑related services, because that is the only scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned application’s narrow focus. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on August 7, 2005. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a potential but limited concern in real‑estate advertising and related services.
