SHOCKWAVE M A G AZ I N E

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SHOCKWAVE M A G AZ I N E” was registered on the Principal Register on June 25 2013 but was cancelled under Section 8 on January 31 2020 because the owner, SHOCKWAVE PARTNERS, LLC, failed to file a declaration of continued use. The mark covered magazines in the field of music, specifically paper goods and printed matter. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any music‑related magazine or related printed publication. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “shockwave” or “magazine”; it only protects that specific combination in that specific class. The prosecution history shows a standard examination, with an amendment and publication, and no movement to the Supplemental Register. The latest event is the cancellation notice in 2020, and no opposition or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the earlier registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that niche.
