ELEANOR AUTOMOTIVE

What this record means

The record shows that “ELEANOR AUTOMOTIVE” is an abandoned service‑mark application filed by Eleanor Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it is not currently live or registered; the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer a non‑final office action, with the abandonment notice dated March 12 2020. The only goods listed are “Automobile dealerships” in International Class 035, so a similar name used for car‑selling or dealership services would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Eleanor Automotive.” The prosecution history shows the usual examination steps—initial filing, assignment to an examiner, a non‑final action, and then abandonment—but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the same wording for automotive dealership services.
