REMEMBRANCE PLANNER

What this record means

The record shows that “REMEMBRANCE PLANNER” was registered on the Principal Register to ValMark Memorial Group, Inc. but the registration was cancelled on Jan 1 2021 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The filing listed the goods or services as a “Certification Mark” with a disclaimer for the word “PLANNER,” but no specific class or description of goods appears in the record, meaning the visible concern is limited to the certification function the owner claimed rather than any particular product line. Because the registration is cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “remembrance” or “planner,” and it does not block unrelated businesses from using similar wording. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was approved for publication, and ultimately entered the Principal Register before its cancellation; there are no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions noted. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name in a related memorial‑service or certification context, since the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that area.
