WINWIN

What this record means

The record shows that the WINWIN application is dead, having been abandoned on February 28 2015 after the underlying International Registration under the Madrid Protocol was cancelled, and the owner listed is China National Offshore Oil Corp.; the goods covered are limited to class 016 paper goods and printed matter such as printed publications, periodical magazines, propaganda pictures, inking ribbons, teaching materials (excluding apparatus), plastic film for wrapping, newspapers, books, posters and hygienic paper. Because the protection was confined to those paper‑related items, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, software, apparel or food—would be far less likely to run into a record‑based conflict, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history reflects a series of refusals and abandonment notices rather than a move to the Supplemental Register, so no supplemental status is involved. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated February 28 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use WINWIN for paper‑related publications, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
