YELLOW

What this record means

The record shows that the “YELLOW” mark is dead – it was abandoned on January 18, 2016 because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and no extension was later secured; the owner listed is Roam, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration (Principal Register) covered Class 035 services: computerized on‑line retail store services for audio and audio‑related merchandise, downloadable audio software, audio merchandise sold for charitable contributions, and promotional services that provide information about charities or encourage donations for cancer treatment. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if you plan to offer online audio‑related retail or charitable‑promotion services, but the record does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows the usual examiner amendment and an intent‑to‑use filing, but the mark never moved beyond allowance because the use statement was never submitted. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in January 2016, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if your business operates in the same online audio‑retail or charitable‑promotion space.
