SEA SPRITE

What this record means

The record shows that “SEA SPRITE” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant, MARESH ENGINEERING LLC, failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated September 8 2016. The only goods listed are “UNDERWATER PROPULSION SYSTEM” in International Class 009, so the closest area of concern would be any product that moves underwater, such as marine thrusters or similar propulsion equipment. The record does not give MARESH ENGINEERING any control over the words “sea sprite” used for unrelated goods or services, and it is not on the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on September 8 2016, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history shows only the non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment, with no oppositions or cancellations, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name for underwater propulsion gear, but the risk drops sharply for other product categories.
