MINERAL OWNER MART

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MINERAL OWNER MART” was registered on the Supplemental Register on June 11, 2013 by Vortex Energy Inc., a corporation organized in Oklahoma, and was cancelled on January 17, 2020 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covers infomediary services that facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers by providing information about sellers, goods, and/or services, specifically in class 035 advertising and business services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class of services, where the wording “MART” is used in a business‑to‑business context. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “MART” in all industries. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially refused for descriptiveness, then amended and accepted into the Supplemental Register, and later cancelled for lack of renewal. No oppositions, extensions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status and narrow scope suggest a modest but present risk of confusion in the same infomediary service area.
