What this record means
This record shows that the mark “SOUL SISTERHOOD” is dead because the applicant, St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church, a charitable nonprofit corporation organized in Minnesota, failed to respond to an Office action and the application was abandoned on June 14 2017. The mark was filed on July 28 2016 and was intended for the education and entertainment class 041, specifically ministry camps for young girls and women first used in commerce on January 1 2011. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the wording outside that specific class or service. The prosecution history shows a standard Office action and abandonment sequence, with no indication that the mark was ever placed on the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the area of religious or educational camps for young women, and the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but other rights could still exist.
