ANDROID POS

What this record means

The record shows that “ANDROID POS” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated April 24 2015, and the owner listed as EBN Technology Corporation, a Taiwan corporation. The filing covered only Class 009 goods, specifically point‑of‑sale hardware and related devices such as cash registers, tablet POS systems, scanners, printers, card and NFC readers, RFID readers, iBeacon units, touch panels, USB card readers and associated software for managing inventory, accounting, employee and security functions. Because the protection is limited to those electronic‑commerce devices, a similar name used for unrelated products or services would be farther from the scope shown here, and the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Android” or “POS.” The prosecution history contains only the non‑final action and the abandonment notice, and no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand point‑of‑sale hardware with a similar name, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO found a conflict in that product area.
