INSIDEOUT

What this record means

The record shows that the INSIDEOUT service mark, owned by Hearst Magazines, Inc., is cancelled – the registration was cancelled on September 7 2018 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead.” The only goods and services listed are in International Class 035: “promoting the goods and services of others by preparing and placing advertisements in magazines and in an electronic magazine accessed through a global computer network; promoting the goods and services of others by providing hypertext links to the web sites of others,” with a first use date of November 2003. A similar name used for advertising or promotional services would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “insideout.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history shows only routine filings and a final refusal that was later overcome before registration, without indicating any enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer advertising or promotional services under a similar name.
