BECAUSE NOT EVERY ANSWER IS BLACK AND WHITE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BECAUSE NOT EVERY ANSWER IS BLACK AND WHITE” was registered on the Principal Register on February 6, 2007, but it was cancelled on September 13, 2013 because the owner, blueSolutions, Inc., did not file a required declaration. The mark covered business‑consulting services related to product distribution, operations management, logistics, reverse logistics, supply chain, and production systems and distribution solutions in class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class of business‑consulting services, especially those involving logistics or supply‑chain solutions. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, publication, and assignment to an examiner before registration, with no supplemental‑register steps. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2013, and no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration in a related service class still suggests a potential concern if the new use is close to those services.
