PASSION

What this record means

The record shows that “PASSION” is a live Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 5308297) owned by GPO GMBH, a German limited‑liability company, and it covers Class 009 electrical and scientific apparatus – specifically telescopes, binoculars, telescopic sights and the lenses used in those devices. Because the listed goods are limited to optical equipment, a similar name used for unrelated products such as clothing or software would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not blocked in all contexts. The prosecution history does not indicate a Supplemental Register filing, so no descriptiveness refusal followed by a supplemental amendment appears. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the required Section 8 declaration on Feb 29 2024, confirming the mark’s continued validity. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I’d treat this as a notable concern if you plan to market optical gear under a similar name, but the risk drops for dissimilar product categories.
