WORDSOAP

What this record means

The record shows that WORDSOAP, owned by WordSoap LLC, was registered on the Principal Register on June 11 2013 but was cancelled on January 17 2020 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The registration covered only one class – Class 009 – specifically “computer database management software for use in personalizing the content of e‑mail communications,” with a first use date of February 20 2010. A similar name used for software that personalizes e‑mail content would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WORDSOAP.” The prosecution history shows the usual steps of filing, publication for opposition, registration, and later a Section 8 reminder in 2018 before the cancellation in 2020; there is no indication of any oppositions or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a product that personalizes e‑mail content, because the cancelled registration still signals that the wording has been used in that niche.
