SPENDSMART

What this record means

The record shows that SPENDSMART, owned by SPENDSMART NETWORKS, INC., a Delaware corporation, is an abandoned application; the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated November 30 2015. The filing covered Class 035 services – non‑downloadable software for creating, setting up, managing and tracking customized mobile marketing and advertising plans for businesses, plus merchant‑funded rewards and offers delivered on mobile devices or in‑store kiosks. Because the claim is limited to those advertising‑and‑business software services, a similar name used in unrelated fields such as retail products, financial services or entertainment would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “SPENDSMART.” The prosecution history reflects a standard examination process that ended in an abandonment rather than a registration on any register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable name in the same mobile‑marketing software space.
