MOTHER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is no longer live; it was cancelled on October 30, 2015 because the owner, SUNDAY’S CHILD, INC., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 2009 for downloadable computer software that lets parents monitor and filter their children’s Internet usage. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of parental monitoring or filtering software, since that is the only goods description listed. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that this particular registration is no longer enforceable. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path from application to allowance to registration, with no Supplemental Register steps. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk of conflict, but the specific software category remains a potential area of concern.
