ELSA RIOT

What this record means

The record shows that “ELSA RIOT” is an abandoned service‑mark application, filed on Feb 5 2018 by individual Elyse Marie Bartlett and declared dead on Nov 5 2019 after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal. The only goods and services listed are entertainment services in the nature of live burlesque performances and the provision of information about live stage events, concerts and audience participation, all in International Class 041. A later filing that uses the same wording for similar live‑performance or entertainment services would run into the closest record‑based concern because the description is fairly specific to that niche. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “ELSA” or “RIOT” in unrelated fields. No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks a final refusal, a brief revival attempt, and the ultimate abandonment. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable live‑performance brand, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO found the mark problematic for that class.
