ROB

What this record means

The record shows that the “ROB” service mark is dead – it was abandoned on February 2 2015 because the applicant never filed a Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and the owner listed is RideOn Bicycle, Inc., a corporation organized in Indiana. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 035: “Retail apparel stores; Retail clothing boutiques; Retail clothing stores.” A similar name used in connection with any kind of clothing or apparel retail would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields (for example, bicycles, software or food) fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration and is now abandoned, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “ROB.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated February 2 2015, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand apparel retail with “ROB,” but the risk is limited to that specific market segment.
