PASSION

What this record means

The record shows the “PASSION” application is dead – it was abandoned on August 4 2014 because no Statement of Use or timely extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is HTC Corporation, a corporation organized in Taiwan. The filing covered Class 009 goods described as mobile phones, smartphones, cellular phones, portable computers, personal digital assistants and wireless handheld digital electronic devices for communicating, recording, organizing, transmitting, manipulating, storing and reviewing text, data, image and audio files; a later‑stage use of “PASSION” on similar electronic devices would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give HTC control over every possible use of the word “PASSION,” especially outside the narrow electronic‑device scope shown. This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply reflects the allowance and subsequent abandonment rather than any register shift. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in August 2014, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand electronic communication devices with the same name.
