PACERALERT

What this record means

The record shows that PACERALERT is an abandoned service‑mark application filed by the individual Raj Abhyanker on Jan 3 2018; the USPTO marked it dead on Aug 27 2019 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “providing temporary use of on‑line non‑downloadable software to automatically download, organize and share litigation documents from government websites” in International Class 042, so a similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve cloud‑based legal‑document software or similar litigation‑support tools. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word PACERALERT in other industries or contexts. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice and final abandonment entry on Aug 27 2019, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a comparable legal‑tech service, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
