What this record means
The record shows that the “ELSA” mark, owned by Real Time Translation, Inc., is cancelled – the registration was terminated on June 5 2024 because the owner did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO marked it as “Dead · Cancelled.” The registration covered only one class, Class 009, for “apparatus for transmission of communications, namely, electronic device with speaker and microphone technology to connect to language interpreters via a network operating center with data vault to store recorded information.” A similar name used for any device or system that transmits or records spoken language would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ELSA.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal post‑registration maintenance steps leading to the cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product that fits the described communication‑device niche.
