What this record means
The record shows that the mark “RANGE” was filed by Range Systems, Inc., a California corporation, as a service mark for class 042 scientific and technology services, including website design consultancy, API application service provision, and online interactive publishing. The application was abandoned on November 30, 2020 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark is not registered and therefore does not give the owner exclusive rights to the word in all contexts. The closest concern would arise for businesses offering similar web‑design or online software services, where the name could be seen as confusingly similar. The prosecution history shows a final refusal and subsequent abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. For a company considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the owner has not secured protection, but the specific services listed still present a potential risk of confusion in that narrow field.
