FMR GRUPPO
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “FMR GRUPPO” is a dead U.S. application that was abandoned on June 11, 2018 after the underlying International Registration under the Madrid Protocol was cancelled, and the USPTO has not allowed any revival; the owner listed is FMR ‑ ART'E' S.P.A. The filing covered paper goods and printed matter (class 016), advertising and business services (class 035), education and entertainment services (class 041), and scientific‑technology services (class 042), so a similar name used in any of those areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “FMR GRUPPO” outside those listed categories. Although the mark was filed on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows a series of refusals and a final abandonment rather than a move to the Supplemental Register. The most recent meaningful event is the January 11, 2019 notification of the cancellation of the international registration. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a similar name for paper, advertising, educational, or scientific‑technology services, but the risk is limited to those specific classes.
