HYGIENIST PROUD

What this record means

The record shows that “HYGIENIST PROUD” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by The Procter & Gamble Company, filed on Oct 17 2016 and registered on Sep 26 2017. It covers “dissemination of educational materials in the nature of non‑downloadable articles and non‑downloadable video content in the fields of oral hygiene and dentistry for oral‑care professionals via a website,” so a similar name used for dental‑education websites or related professional content would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “HYGIENIST” or “PROUD” in other contexts. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of a Section 8 declaration on Dec 27 2023, confirming the mark’s continued registration; no opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same educational‑dental niche.
