ELSA

What this record means

The record shows that “ELSA” is a live Principal Register trademark owned by Globus Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it is currently registered for spinal implants—artificial materials used in spine surgery—under International Class 010, with a first use date of October 17 2016. Because the registration is limited to that specific medical device category, a later‑stage product or service that is unrelated to spinal surgery would be farther from the scope shown here, while any other spinal‑implant or related surgical device using the same name would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Globus Medical control over every possible use of the word “ELSA.” The prosecution history shows a standard path to registration, with a Notice of Allowance in April 2015 and final registration on December 20 2016; there is no supplemental‑register activity to note. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the combined Section 8 (renewal) and Section 15 (post‑registration) declaration on January 4 2023, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I’d treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market spinal‑implant products under the same name.
