GEMINI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GEMINI” is dead; it was abandoned by Ecolab USA Inc., a Delaware corporation, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on January 31, 2018 and abandoned on March 25, 2019. It covered the class 003 goods of floor‑finishing preparations, first used in commerce in 2000. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of floor‑finishing or related cleaning products, because that is the only goods listed. The abandonment does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Gemini.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal in September 2018, followed by an abandonment notice in March 2019; no supplemental register status is involved. No enforcement activity such as opposition or cancellation appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in the floor‑finishing or cleaning product market.
