SEA

What this record means

The record shows the mark SEA is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, with the cancellation dated April 4 2025; the owner listed is Duncan McIntosh Co., Inc. The registration covered only “general feature magazine in the field of boating activities, namely, motor boats, sailboats, and yachts of all sizes and types and use in a variety of waters” in International Class 016, so a later use of the word SEA for a boating‑related publication would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word SEA in other industries or contexts. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from examiner amendment to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a magazine about boats, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
