GROUNDED
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED” is dead, having been abandoned by Nominum, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was held on the Principal Register and covered computer application software for mediating and managing access to mobile devices and computers, as well as non‑downloadable web‑based software for the same purpose, in classes 009 and 042. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of software that controls or limits internet content for users. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “grounded.” The last significant event was the abandonment notice on May 14, 2012, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. If you’re thinking of a comparable name, this abandoned mark suggests a potential, but not definitive, risk in the software‑access‑control space.
