SPENDSMART

What this record means

The record shows that SPENDSMART, owned by SPENDSMART NETWORKS, INC., is an abandoned application; the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice mailed on Oct 5 2015. The filing covered Class 009 goods—magnetically encoded debit cards and credit cards—and Class 036 services—credit‑card and debit‑card services. Because the protection was limited to those financial‑card products and services, a similar name used for unrelated goods would present a farther concern, while any use in the same card‑related space would be the closest record‑based issue. The record contains no indication of oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement activity is visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer debit or credit card products under a comparable name, since the abandoned filing still signals prior claim to that niche.
