HOBO LIMOUSINE SERVICE A BUM WAY TO TRAVEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “HOBO LIMOUSINE SERVICE A BUM WAY TO TRAVEL” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Hobo Limousines, Inc., a California corporation that filed the application on October 4, 2010 under an intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 039, specifically limousine services. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in all contexts, but the abandoned filing still indicates that the owner once sought protection for that exact phrase in the limousine‑service field. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action and subsequent abandonment; no supplemental‑register steps or enforcement actions appear. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on August 12, 2011. For someone looking to use a similar name in the limousine‑service industry, this abandoned record suggests a potential, but not definitive, concern that the owner may still claim rights in that specific service area.
