What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOUL SISTERHOOD” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church, a charitable, non‑profit corporation organized in Minnesota. The mark was filed as a service mark for legal and personal services, specifically ministry camps for young girls and women, first used in commerce on January 1, 2011. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in November 2016 and an abandonment notice in June 2017, with no further enforcement activity recorded. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on June 19, 2017. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the area of ministry or personal services for young girls and women; otherwise the record suggests a lower risk of conflict.
