MANUS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MANUS” is dead; it was abandoned on January 21, 2017 because the applicant, MANUS ABRASIVE SYSTEMS INC., a Canadian corporation, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on April 16, 2015 and was refused on the basis of descriptiveness. The only goods listed are abrasive blasting equipment and accessories for cleaning non‑porous surfaces, classified under class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of abrasive equipment and related services. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “MANUS.” No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is recorded. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice in January 2017. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific goods and services listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use is in the same industry.
