DISNEY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DISNEY” was abandoned by its owner, Salomon Eli Farin, after the applicant filed an express abandonment on May 17 2017. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register, covering the education and entertainment class 041, specifically movie showing. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the record still indicates that the owner once claimed protection for that specific service. A similar name used for movie showing or related entertainment services would be the closest area of concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The prosecution history shows no opposition or enforcement actions, and the supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals. The latest meaningful event was the abandonment notice on May 17 2017. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the record still signals that the owner once asserted rights in movie showing, so caution is advised if operating in that area.
