AIRLINE. MINUS THE LINE.

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “AIRLINE. MINUS THE LINE.” is dead and was abandoned by TNT Leasing Company, Inc., a corporation organized in Tennessee, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on July 16, 2006 and abandoned on August 28, 2008. It covered airline transportation services, airplane chartering, and related plane chartering services under class 039. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class of airline and charter services, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and a petition to revive, but the abandonment ultimately ended the application. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the same class of services still presents a potential concern.
