ELSA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ELSA is dead – it was abandoned on Dec 9 2019 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Elsa, Corp., a Delaware corporation. The only goods covered are “downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application which provides users with instruction in languages” in International Class 009, so a later use of the same word for language‑learning apps or similar software would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Elsa, Corp. control over every possible use of the word ELSA in other industries or contexts. This was a Principal Register filing, and the prosecution history simply reflects the non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Dec 9 2019, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable language‑learning app.
