ASH AND STEEL

What this record means

The record shows that “ASH AND STEEL” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant, Vyhedra Studios LLC, failed to answer an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated Jan 16 2018. The filing covered Class 009 goods described as computer game software, electronic game software and video game software for personal computers and home video‑game consoles. A similar name used for any kind of gaming software would be the closest area of concern, because the record’s protection (though now abandoned) was limited to that specific category; it does not extend to unrelated products or services. The prosecution history contains only the filing and the abandonment entries, and there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions listed, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a gaming‑related brand with a similar name, but the abandonment means the USPTO is not currently enforcing any rights on “ASH AND STEEL.”
