ROT

What this record means

The record shows that ROT, owned by Charles Barocas, was registered on the Principal Register for a service mark covering “testing, analysis, and evaluation of the knowledge, skills and abilities of others in the field of health care, orthopedics and medicine to determine conformity with certification standards in relation to the orthopedic technologist arena” (International Class 042), but the registration was cancelled on June 19 2026 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The cancellation is the most recent meaningful event; no later maintenance or renewal dates appear in the file. Because the mark was limited to those specific orthopedic‑technologist certification services, a similar name used in a different industry would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “ROT.” The prosecution history contains only routine filing and publication steps and shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 action, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name in the same health‑care testing field, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated services.
