FORTRESS LIMOUSINE

What this record means

The record shows that “FORTRESS LIMOUSINE” is an abandoned service mark; the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant, Fortress Armored Services Company, failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice mailed on September 5 2014. The only goods listed are “Limousine services” in International Class 039, so a similar name used for transportation or chauffeured‑car services would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Fortress” or “Limousine.” Because the mark was never issued on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on September 5 2014, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for limousine services, but the risk drops for unrelated goods.
