OPENRIDE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark OPENRIDE has been cancelled, with the latest meaningful event a Section 8 cancellation on January 19, 2024, after the registrant failed to file an acceptable declaration; the owner listed is Open Ride, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration covered a Class 042 service – providing a website with non‑downloadable software that connects drivers of vehicles with passengers and shares transportation costs – so a similar name used for any online ride‑matching platform would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “openride” in unrelated fields, and it is not on the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable ride‑sharing web service, because the existing cancellation still signals prior claim to that specific online‑matching service.
