What this record means
The record shows that the “PURPLE” mark, owned by Purple Services, a California corporation, was registered on the Principal Register in March 2016 but was cancelled on September 23 2022 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only one class – Class 009 – specifically “computer application software for mobile phones and tablets, namely, software for requesting gas for automobiles.” A similar name used for anything outside that narrow software‑for‑fuel‑request context would be farther from the scope shown here, and the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “PURPLE.” The prosecution history shows the usual filing, allowance, statement‑of‑use steps and then the cancellation for non‑renewal; there are no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions listed, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a software‑for‑fuel‑request product, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
