What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BARNES PAINTING” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Barnes, Arland, an individual. The mark covered services in class 037, specifically painting residential and commercial repaint and new construction, with first use in commerce on January 1, 2017. A similar name used for painting services in the same geographic or commercial context would raise the closest record‑based concern. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Barnes” or “painting” elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with a non‑final action and eventual abandonment, but no Supplemental Register status. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on July 8, 2019, and no enforcement activity appears in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific painting services remain a close concern.
