What this record means
The record shows that the mark “HOME OWNER'S RESOURCE” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner was Home Owner's Resource Guide, Inc., a corporation organized in Minnesota. The mark covered advertising and business services in class 035, specifically advertising, marketing, and informational services directed toward home owners, home sellers, and home buyers, including printed and web‑based materials and related discount programs. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Home,” “Owner's,” or “Resource.” No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on August 30, 2006. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific advertising services in class 035 remain a potential point of concern.
