SOUL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOUL” was abandoned by Brunswick Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and is no longer live. The mark was filed on November 9, 2012, published for opposition on April 23, 2013, and received a Notice of Allowance on June 18, 2013, but no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed, leading to abandonment on July 21, 2014. The only goods listed are bowling balls under class 028, so a similar name used for bowling balls would raise the closest concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds rights to that specific mark in that class, but the record does not prevent anyone from using the word “SOUL” in unrelated goods or services. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the main risk would be if the new use involves bowling balls or closely related sporting goods.
