THE NAME BEHIND THE NAMES

What this record means

The record shows the mark THE NAME BEHIND THE NAMES is cancelled; its registration on the Principal Register was terminated on Oct 18 2013 because the owner, NGAM ADVISORS L.P., did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the record lists no later activity. The registration covered only “investment advisory services; investment management” in International Class 036, so a similar name used in financial‑service contexts would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall outside the specific scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording, and it is not on the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 lapse, or other enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same financial‑service space.
