MOTHER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, James K. English, failed to respond to an Office action. The application was filed on January 24 2018 and the abandonment was recorded on December 12 2018. The mark was sought on the Principal Register for class 009, covering downloadable computer software that allows parents to monitor, manage and filter their children’s Internet, television, and radio usage. Because the goods are specifically software for parental control, a similar name used for a different type of product or service would be farther from the scope shown, but the record still indicates a potential concern for software or related digital tools. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that the abandoned mark still represents a prior claim in the same class, so using “MOTHER” for comparable software could raise a closer record‑based concern.
