SAMSUNG

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” is dead and was abandoned by Samsung C&T Corporation, a corporation organized in Korea, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance issued on March 6, 2012. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for classes 018, 023, 024 and 025, covering handbags, pocket wallets, various textiles, and a wide range of clothing items such as shoes, jackets, and underwear. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these goods, especially in the apparel and textile categories. The abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the mark still has a historical presence in those specific classes. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on April 6, 2015. If you are thinking of using a similar name in apparel or textiles, you should be aware that the mark’s prior registration could still create a potential risk of confusion in those areas.
