What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AFL A FAMILY LIMOUSINE” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is A Family Limousine Inc., a corporation organized in Florida. The mark covered the service of limousine services under class 039, with first use in commerce on October 1, 2001. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses offering limousine or related transportation services, as that is the exact scope shown. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the words “family limousine” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in May 2014 and an abandonment notice in November 2014, with no later maintenance events. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied record. If you are thinking of a similar name for limousine services, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
