PROTECTED BY SECUREKEY
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that “PROTECTED BY SECUREKEY” is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by Anheuser‑Busch Employees’ Credit Union; the registration was cancelled on June 26 2020 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to class 045 services described as “Providing user authentication services for the purposes of protecting users’ bank accounts from unauthorized access,” so a similar name used in banking‑security or authentication contexts would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “protected by” or “securekey” in unrelated fields. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 2020, and no further maintenance dates are listed. The prosecution history contains only routine office actions and a publication for opposition, with no indications of enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same authentication‑for‑bank‑accounts space.
