BABSON

What this record means

The record shows that the “BABSON” application is dead – it was abandoned on February 17 2019 after the applicant failed to give a complete response to the Office’s final refusal, and the owner listed is Shenzhen Basen Industry Co., Ltd., a limited company organized in China. The only goods covered are a range of inks – edible inks, engraving ink, ink for leather, skin‑dressing ink, marking ink for animals, mimeographing ink, planographic ink and typographic ink – all in International Class 2, so a similar name used for any of those ink products would be the closest record‑based concern. Because the mark sits on the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history shows a final refusal followed by an abandonment rather than a successful amendment to the Principal Register; this indicates the USPTO did not find the mark registrable for the listed goods. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on February 19 2019, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “BABSON” for ink‑related products, but it does not extend to unrelated goods or services.
