SPORTY'S CAR WASH

What this record means

The record shows that SPORTY'S CAR WASH is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the owner, Beland Auto Services, LLC, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated April 6 2015. The filing covered only one class, 037, describing “Automobile cleaning and car washing,” so a similar name would be most concerning if used for any car‑wash or vehicle‑cleaning services. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “sporty’s” or “car wash” in unrelated industries. Because the mark was never issued on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in April 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a car‑wash brand with a comparable name, since the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in that specific service area.
