SANITEQ

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SANITEQ is abandoned, with the last status dated July 14 2014 when the USPTO issued an abandonment notice because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance; the owner listed is Joseph Baumoel, an individual. The application covered only class 011 goods described as “toilet seat accessory, namely devices to lift and lower a toilet seat,” so a similar name used for bathroom‑hardware or related plumbing parts would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “saniteq” in unrelated fields. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in July 2014, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a product that lifts or lowers toilet seats, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods.
