OPENRIDE

What this record means

The record shows that “OPENRIDE” is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by AOL INC.; the registration was cancelled on March 14 2014 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to Class 042 services, specifically a wide range of computer‑technology information and security services such as virus protection, network security, and application‑service‑provider software for detecting and removing threats. A similar name used for comparable technology‑security offerings would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give AOL control over every possible use of the word “OPENRIDE.” Because the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2014, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a tech‑security brand with a similar name.
