PASSION

What this record means

The record shows that the “PASSION” application filed by HTC Corporation on Jan 14 2011 is dead – it was abandoned on Aug 4 2014 because no Statement of Use or timely extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The filing was for goods in International Class 009, specifically computer hardware and software that enable, operate, customize, update and manage mobile, portable, smart, VoIP and wireless devices, plus related accessories such as headsets, cables and in‑car mounts. A similar name used for any of those electronic or software products would be the closest area of concern, while uses outside that technical scope are farther from the record’s coverage. The record does not give HTC control over every possible use of the word “PASSION.” Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Aug 4 2014, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand similar electronic or software products under the same name.
