What this record means
This record shows that the mark “GOOGLE” is dead, having been abandoned by the applicant, Solomon E. Farin, an individual, on May 17 2017. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register under class 045 for “On‑line social networking services.” Because the application was withdrawn, the mark does not confer any rights or control over that wording. The closest area of concern would be any use of the name in connection with online social networking or similar legal and personal services. The prosecution history shows a straightforward abandonment sequence with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. No further maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. Since the record shows no enforcement activity, the owner has not asserted any rights. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no active registration to conflict with, but the historical filing still indicates that the name was once pursued for online social networking services.
