What this record means
The record shows that the mark “THE OWNER” was registered on the Principal Register on October 30, 2012, but it was cancelled on May 12, 2023 because the owner, Steve Tate, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered entertainment services, specifically personal appearances by a pro football personality, under class 041. A similar name used for comparable entertainment services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the mark no longer confers protection, but the history does not prove that the wording is free for all uses. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 failure appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation date in May 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk if the new use is in entertainment services, but less concern for unrelated goods or services.
