WORDREPAIR

What this record means

The record shows that WORDREPAIR is a cancelled Supplemental Register registration (Reg. No. 3273048) owned by Liang Ren, and it was cancelled on March 7, 2014 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered only one class—Class 009 for “computer software and downloadable computer software for document file repair, corrupted document recovery, restoration of data and computer files.” A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for software or services that fix or recover digital documents, since the goods description is narrowly focused on that technical area. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WORDREPAIR” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application was initially refused, then amended and approved for the Supplemental Register in July 2007, reflecting a modest level of distinctiveness. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2014, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan software that repairs documents, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products or services.
