What this record means
The record shows that “DENIM GROOVE” is an abandoned application – it was filed on March 3 2005 by Navneet Publications (India) Ltd. and the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on April 22 2006 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are in International Class 016: composition notebooks, subject notebooks, steno books, filler paper, diaries, pens, pencils, portfolios and folders. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if you’re offering any of those paper‑goods or related stationery, because the registration claim is limited to that category. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Denim Groove” in other product areas. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the non‑response that led to abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market notebooks or similar stationery under a comparable name.
