TEST

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TEST” is dead, having been abandoned by the owner, a corporation organized in Alabama, after the applicant filed an express abandonment on August 19, 2016. The mark was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis for class 009, covering electrical and scientific apparatus specifically “Test weights.” Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “TEST” in all contexts, but the record indicates that the closest concern would arise if someone used the same name for similar electrical or scientific apparatus, especially test weights. The prosecution history shows a straightforward abandonment sequence with no opposition or cancellation events, and the supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. The latest meaningful status event was the abandonment notice mailed on August 19, 2016. For anyone considering a similar name, the record suggests a modest risk of confusion in the narrow field of test weights, but no broader claim of protection.
