SANITEX

What this record means

The record shows that “SANITEX” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on September 8 2011 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is PRECARE CORP, a New York corporation. The filing covered Class 003 cosmetics and cleaning products (antibacterial skin soaps and antibacterial soap) and Class 005 pharmaceuticals (antibacterial alcohol skin sanitizer gel, hand lotions, handwash, spray, antimicrobial preservatives for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, antimicrobials for dermatologic use, and microfiber towels treated with an antimicrobial). A similar name would raise the closest concern for goods that fall within those antibacterial cleaning and personal‑care categories; it does not automatically extend to unrelated products or services. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action and a pseudo‑mark notice in late 2010, but no supplemental‑register filing. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on September 8 2011, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use “SANITEX” for antibacterial soaps or related sanitizing products.
