What this record means
The record shows that the mark “CROSSFLOW” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Delphix Corp., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on June 28, 2010 under an intent‑to‑use basis for computer software used in database management. The goods described are database management software for managing database storage and provisioning functions, class 009. A similar name used for software that performs comparable database‑management tasks would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Crossflow”; it only covers the specific software goods listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in October 2010 and an abandonment notice in May 2011, with no subsequent enforcement activity recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name in the same software area, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific goods remain a potential point of concern.
