BECAUSE RESPONSE MATTERS AND CARING COUNTS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BECAUSE RESPONSE MATTERS AND CARING COUNTS” was registered on the Principal Register on February 27, 2007, but it was cancelled on October 4, 2013 because the owner, Certified Restoration Dry Cleaning, L.L.C., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled registration covered franchise services for dry‑cleaning businesses dealing with insured damage from smoke, water, or other contaminants (Class 035) and dry‑cleaning services for such damage (Class 037). A similar name used in those same or closely related services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed and registered without any supplemental register steps, and no opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2013. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the goods and services listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new name is used in the same field.
