GROUNDED

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Jordan Neal, failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on May 15 2013 and was allowed on December 10 2013, but the abandonment notice was mailed and finalized on July 13 2015. The goods covered were beer, ale, lager, stout and porter under class 032. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same category of light beverages. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GROUNDED.” No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—appears in the supplied history. The latest event is the abandonment on July 13 2015. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording in the beverage class, but the owner still holds rights to the name in that specific area.
