EXCEL-G

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “EXCEL‑G” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is KYB AMERICA LLC, a corporation organized in Illinois, and the mark was filed on July 12, 2004 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The only goods listed are automotive parts and components, specifically shocks and struts, in class 012. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant control over the wording in any other context, but a similar name used for automotive parts such as shocks or struts would raise the closest record‑based concern. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in February 2005 followed by abandonment in October 2005; no further maintenance or renewal events are recorded. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking at a similar name, the main risk lies in the automotive parts area, especially shocks and struts, where the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim.
