PENNY PASSION

What this record means

The record shows that “PENNY PASSION” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, GameTech Arizona Corporation, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated November 21, 2006. The only goods listed are “Electronic pull tab games, namely, electronic ticket sets for playing games of chance” in International Class 028, so a similar name used for those kinds of electronic gambling tickets would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields such as apparel or software would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the filing never progressed to a registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “PENNY PASSION.” The prosecution history shows the application moved through normal examination steps, received a Notice of Allowance on March 21, 2006, and then was abandoned later that year; no opposition or cancellation actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a product that resembles electronic pull‑tab games, but the risk drops for other categories.
