ALPHABET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “ALPHABET” is dead, having been abandoned by Alphabet Inc. after the applicant failed to respond to a final Office action. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register for class 035, covering “holding company services, namely, providing business management and business administration services for subsidiaries and affiliates.” A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same business‑management services area; use in unrelated industries would be farther from the specific scope shown. Because the mark is abandoned, the record does not give Alphabet Inc. control over every use of the word “Alphabet.” The latest status event is the abandonment notice dated November 24, 2019. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name, be aware that the abandoned mark still exists in the USPTO database and could create a record‑based concern for business‑management services.
