SOUL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOUL” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is LG Electronics Inc., a corporation organized in Korea. The goods covered by the application were memorial plaques, rings, buckles, monuments, bins, mirrors, picture frames, cushions, fans, buckets, insulated bottles, piggy banks, and memorial cups, all listed under classes 006, 020, and 021. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products in those same categories, especially metal or wooden items used for personal or decorative purposes. This record does not give control over every use of the word “SOUL.” The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and a suspension inquiry, but no indication that the mark moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest event is the abandonment notice on January 31, 2018, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk for comparable goods in those classes.
