What this record means
The record shows that the mark “VCG VETERANS CONCERNED GROUP SERVING ALL VETERANS THE YORK HOUSE 5325 OLD YORK ROAD PHILADELPHIA, PA 19141” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Luqman, Ernest, a corporation organized in Pennsylvania. The goods covered are clothing items—t‑shirts, graphic t‑shirts, leather jackets, shell jackets, and short‑ or long‑sleeved t‑shirts—under class 025. A similar name used for apparel in those categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions and abandonment notices, but no opposition or cancellation events. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on August 15, 2017. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer provides enforceable protection, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the name is used for similar apparel.
