What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MANUS” is dead; it was abandoned on October 26, 2015 because the applicant, Resco Instruments, LLC, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on May 31, 2014 and was registered on the Principal Register for a single, very specific good: a battery‑powered, 42 mm stainless steel wrist‑watch designed for deep‑sea diving, sold only online. Because the goods are narrow and the mark is no longer active, a similar name would raise the closest concern only if used for comparable diving watches or related accessories. The record does not grant control over the word “MANUS” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action and a late abandonment, but no opposition or enforcement actions appear. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific diving‑watch market, but the mark’s abandonment means the name is not currently protected.
