THE NAME THE WORLD BUILDS ON
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “THE NAME THE WORLD BUILDS ON” is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Wolseley plc, with the cancellation entered on Oct 10 2014 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration; there is no later activity. The registration covered a very broad set of goods and services across dozens of classes, including industrial oils and greases (class 004), pharmaceuticals and medical preparations (class 005), firearms and ammunition (class 013), jewelry and precious metals (class 014), musical instruments (class 015), leather goods (class 018), a wide range of toys and games (class 028), foods and beverages such as meat, coffee, beer and alcoholic drinks (classes 029‑034), tobacco products (class 034), scientific‑technology consulting (class 042), restaurant and hotel services (class 043), medical and beauty services (class 044), and personal‑service offerings (class 045). Because the mark is cancelled, the USPTO record does not give the owner any enforceable control over the wording in other contexts, but a similar name used for any of the listed goods or services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The prosecution history shows a normal examination path ending in registration, then a Section 8 cancellation; no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name in any of the enumerated categories.
