PARQUE NACIONAL DA GORONGOSA

What this record means

The record shows that “PARQUE NACIONAL DA GORONGOSA” is a dead service‑mark application that was abandoned on April 8 2020 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; the owner listed is Gorongosa Project, Inc., a U.S. non‑profit corporation. The filing covered transportation for photographic safaris, sightseeing, tour‑guide and excursion services (class 039); arranging and conducting those same activities plus educational programs for K‑12 students and seminars on agriculture, environmental issues, eco‑sustainability, land and animal management (class 041); scientific research on lions, elephants, biodiversity, conservation, agriculture and eco‑sustainability (class 042); and temporary accommodations such as hotels, campsites, luxury tented camps and food‑and‑drink provision (class 043). A similar name used in any of those tourism, education, research or lodging contexts would be the closest area of concern, but the record does not give the owner control over all other uses of the wording. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice and final abandonment on April 8 2020, and the prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable service in those listed categories.
