What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DISCOVER ME FIRST” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Douglas Abbondanzio, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on April 2, 2010 and published for opposition on August 31, 2010. It was intended for use on magazines in the fields of modeling, advertising, fashion, photography, entertainment, fitness, beauty, health, and talent agencies and resources, class 016. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the closest area of concern would be any publication of similar titles or content in those same magazine categories. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on May 30, 2011. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk if the name is used for similar magazine content, but no broader claim exists.
