What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BY OWNER REALTY” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Michael Fanous, an individual, and the mark was filed on May 22, 2006. The goods covered are real‑estate brokerage, advertising, and related activities under class 036. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services in the real‑estate brokerage and advertising sphere. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the wording, only over the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in October 2006 and an abandonment notice in May 2007, with no subsequent maintenance or renewal events. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific real‑estate services listed still represent a potential area of concern.
