SAMSUNG

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” is no longer live; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, Samsung C&T Corporation, failed to file a declaration. The cancelled registration covered four classes: 018 (handbags and related accessories), 023 (threads and yarns), 024 (fabrics and textiles), and 025 (clothing and footwear). A similar name would raise the closest concern in those specific goods, especially handbags, fabrics, and apparel. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Samsung” in all contexts. The prosecution history ends with a cancellation notice on January 19, 2024; no later maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of using a similar name, be aware that the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in those particular goods, and the name may still be protected in related areas.
