WORDRANK
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that WORDRANK is a cancelled Principal Register mark owned by Grapeshot Limited, with the cancellation entered on Oct 25 2024 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 71 declaration; the mark is no longer live. The registration covered Class 009 (computer hardware, software and data‑targeting programs), Class 035 (advertising, business management and online marketing services) and Class 042 (design and development of computer hardware and software for advertising‑related data processing), plus some legal‑service items in Class 045, so a similar name used in any of those technology‑or advertising‑focused contexts would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Grapeshot control over every possible use of the word “WORDRANK” outside those listed areas. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment in Dec 2017 that led to registration on the Principal Register, followed later by the Section 71 cancellation. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same tech‑advertising space, but the mark’s cancellation means it no longer blocks all uses.
