ELSA

What this record means

The record shows that the “ELSA” application filed by THE BABCOCK & WILCOX COMPANY is dead – it was abandoned on Nov 7 2016 because no Statement of Use or timely extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are computer software for automatic or manual control and monitoring of an air‑quality‑control‑system train used with power‑generating units, filed in International Class 009. A similar name used for software or hardware that manages air‑quality or power‑plant systems would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields sit farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ELSA.” The prosecution history shows the application moved from a non‑final action through an examiner’s amendment and a Notice of Allowance before the abandonment notice was mailed; it never reached registration. No opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if your product falls within the same software‑control niche.
