ALPHABET WHYS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET WHYS” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Linda Jasper, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was applied for under an Intent‑to‑Use basis and was approved for publication in the Principal Register. The goods listed are downloadable e‑books, audio books, newsletters, journals, magazines, and computer application software for language instruction, all in the field of language instruction. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those same educational or publishing contexts. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Alphabet” or “Whys.” No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is recorded. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 29, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim in the language‑instruction publishing niche, so caution is advised.
