WORDAPALOOZA

What this record means

The record shows that WORDAPALOOZA is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the owner, Cerebration Games, LLC, failed to file a required Statement of Use or an extension by the deadline, with the abandonment notice dated January 15 2018. The filing covered only “educational card games” in International Class 028, so a later use of the same wording for that specific type of product would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration on the Supplemental Register, there is no indication of a descriptiveness refusal followed by a supplemental filing. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice; no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a similar name for educational card games, but the record doesn’t block other goods or services.
