What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a corporation organized in Korea. The registration covers filled toner cartridges, filled ink cartridges, xerographic toners, and ink and toners for photocopiers and printers in class 002. A similar name used in these exact or closely related goods would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Samsung” in all contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered on April 14, 2020, with no earlier descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register step. The latest meaningful event is the 2025 courtesy reminder for the 6‑year maintenance filing. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, principal registration in this specific class suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used for similar toner or ink products.
