OPENRIDE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark OPENRIDE was registered on the Principal Register to AOL INC. but was cancelled on February 7 2014 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. It covered telecommunications services in Class 038, specifically providing multiple‑use access to computer networks, electronic transmission of data, text, images, documents and sound, online bulletin boards and chat rooms, real‑time interaction facilities, and electronic mail services. A similar name used for any of those network‑based communications would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that technical scope are farther from the listed coverage. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2014; no opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a notable concern if you plan a comparable online‑communication service, but the record does not control every possible use of the word “OPENRIDE.”
