What this record means
The record shows that the mark AUTO SHOW APP is abandoned, with the last status change on June 2 2020 when the USPTO recorded an abandonment for failure to respond to an Office action; the owner listed is G2Planet, Incorporated, a California corporation. The application covered a downloadable iOS and Android app that serves as an interactive guide for auto‑show attendees, exhibitors and sponsors, filed under International Class 009. A similar name used for any mobile or web application that provides show‑related content would be the closest area of concern because the goods description is narrowly focused on that type of software. The record does not give G2Planet control over every use of the words “auto,” “show,” or “app” in other contexts. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history only reflects the non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment notice. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable auto‑show app, since the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO found the mark problematic for that specific software use.
