PURPLE

What this record means

The record shows that “PURPLE” is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by IDT Telecom, Inc.; the registration was cancelled on June 9 2023 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The mark covered only “prepaid telephone calling card and telephone debit card services” in International Class 036, so a later business using the word “PURPLE” for similar prepaid‑calling‑card or telephone‑debit‑card services would run into the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give IDT Telecom control over every use of the word “PURPLE” in other industries or for unrelated goods. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from filing in 2016 to registration in November 2016 and then to the Section 8 cancellation in 2023. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable telecom‑financial service under the same name.
