PRIVATE OWNER CARS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PRIVATE OWNER CARS” is dead; it was abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Private Owner Cars, Inc., a corporation organized in Colorado. The mark covered services in class 035, advertising and business services that include franchise services and technical and business management assistance for marketplaces of cars, and in class 036, insurance and financial services for operating marketplaces of cars. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same classes, especially for services that help run or advertise car marketplaces. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on February 18, 2007. If you’re thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific services listed still present a potential concern.
