DULUX ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE'S LIVES
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the application for “DULUX ADDING COLOR TO PEOPLE’S LIVES” is dead – it was abandoned on Feb 10 2020 after the underlying Madrid Protocol registration expired, and no revival was permitted; the owner listed is Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V. The goods and services are limited to paints, varnishes, lacquers, thinners, colour‑mixing machines, hand tools for applying those finishes, advisory and information services about building refurbishment and colour‑scheming, and paint‑mixing services, all in classes 002, 007, 008, 016, 037, 040 and 042. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those coating‑related products or services, but the record does not give the owner control over unrelated uses of the words. The prosecution history shows an initial refusal in mid‑2010 followed by abandonment rather than a move to the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register nuance here. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Feb 10 2020, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand paint‑related goods or services with a similar phrase.
