WSTA WORLD SAILING TEAMS ASSOCIATION
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark WSTA WORLD SAILING TEAMS ASSOCIATION is no longer active – it was cancelled on December 18, 2019, after the underlying International Registration was cancelled, and the U.S. registration was marked “dead.” The owner listed is WSTA WORLD SAILING TEAMS ASSOCIATION S.A., a Luxembourg‑based entity. The registration covered a broad set of goods in classes 009, 014, 018, 025 and, most importantly, class 041 services such as arranging, organizing and conducting sailing races, producing sailing‑related TV and radio shows, and providing online sailing information and publications. Because the record is limited to those specific goods and services, a similar name used in a different field—say, clothing or jewelry—would be farther from the recorded scope, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “World Sailing Teams.” The mark was on the Principal Register, and the prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment in December 2010 followed by registration in April 2011, but no supplemental‑register step appears. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation notice in December 2019, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a similar name for sailing‑related events or online sailing content, because the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that niche.
