What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SUN CATCHER” was abandoned and is no longer live. The owner was Stirling Energy Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation that filed the application on May 10, 2005 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 009, covering dish solar collectors for residential or commercial energy and power generation. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for solar‑related equipment or services in that class, but the record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording in other contexts. The prosecution history indicates the mark was published for opposition, received a Notice of Allowance on December 12, 2006, and the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use, leading to abandonment on December 6, 2007. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent the most relevant area of concern.
