FIGHTING FOR INCARCERATED VETERANS EVERYWHERE (THE F.I.V.E. PROGRAM)

What this record means

The record shows the mark FIGHTING FOR INCARCERATED VETERANS EVERYWHERE (THE F.I.V.E. PROGRAM) was registered on the Principal Register to Madonna Richardson, but it was cancelled on July 21 2023 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. The protection that existed covered charitable services—specifically, organizing and developing programs that aim to improve the lives of formerly incarcerated persons, their families, and those at risk for incarceration—so a similar name used for those kinds of programs would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the USPTO record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was published for opposition in October 2016, and was granted on the Principal Register in January 2017 before the later Section 8 lapse. The supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a charitable program for formerly incarcerated individuals, because the prior registration directly addressed that field.
