What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” was abandoned by Samsung C&T Corporation and is no longer live on the Principal Register. The abandoned application covered services in class 036, specifically insurance and financial services such as accident insurance underwriting, brokerage, and financial consulting. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SAMSUNG,” but it does create a close concern for any new mark that covers similar insurance or financial services. The prosecution history shows that after the Notice of Allowance the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use, leading to abandonment on August 16, 2010. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name for insurance or financial services, this abandoned record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the previously applied mark.
