MAUS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MAUS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 79405864, owned by Donaustahl GmbH, a German GmbH. It covers electrical and scientific apparatus in class 009—specifically automated drone detection systems composed of drones, cameras, sensors, downloadable software, and computer hardware, excluding mice—and class 012 goods such as military, civilian, and rescue drones, structural replacement parts, and air and space vehicles. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services that fall within those drone‑related categories. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “MAUS.” The prosecution history shows a refusal and subsequent amendment that led to registration on the Principal Register, not the Supplemental Register. The latest status event is the registration on December 30, 2025, with the next significant date being the auto‑protection date of April 3, 2026. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “MAUS” for drone‑related products or services could conflict with this registered mark.
