RYZE DESIGN

What this record means

The record shows that RYZE DESIGN, owned by Eli B Clark, is an abandoned application; the USPTO marked it “dead” after a failure to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice mailed on March 27 2017. The filing covered only Class 020 – office furniture – with a first use date of April 14 2015 and a commercial use date of September 24 2015, so a similar name used for anything outside office furniture would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give Clark control over every use of the words “RYZE” or “DESIGN.” The prosecution history reflects a series of non‑final Office actions in 2016 that ended in abandonment, but there are no indications of oppositions, cancellations or court actions. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 27 2017, and no further enforcement activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market office furniture under a similar name, but the risk drops for unrelated goods or services.
