WOODNOTES

What this record means

The record shows that WOODNOTES, owned by Woodnotes Oy (a Finnish limited liability company), is cancelled – the registration was voided on Dec 29 2023 because the owner failed to file a proper Section 8 declaration, and the USPTO marked the mark as “dead · cancelled.” The filing covered Class 020 furniture such as sofas, chairs, beds and related indoor furnishings, Class 024 paper‑based curtains and upholstery fabrics, and Class 027 various carpets, wall‑hangings and door mats, so a similar name used for those types of products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “WOODNOTES” outside those listed categories. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for the Principal Register, published for opposition in March 2017, and later cancelled for non‑filing of the required maintenance. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand furniture, paper‑based décor or carpet products under a similar name.
