HIGH VOLTAGE VLF HIPOT INSTRUMENTS

What this record means

The record shows the mark HIGH VOLTAGE VLF HIPOT INSTRUMENTS was registered on the Principal Register to High Voltage, Inc., a New York corporation, but it was cancelled on Feb 7 2020 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. It covered “electrical test equipment for quality assurance and proof testing of power cable, electrical apparatus and linemen’s safety equipment” in International Class 009, so a later use of a similar name in that same niche would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “high voltage” or “hipot instruments” outside that specific description. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from filing in 2012 to registration in 2013 and then to the 2020 cancellation. The supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation, or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that targets the same type of electrical test equipment.
