What this record means
The record shows a live Principal Register service mark for “THE NAME YOU CAN BUILD ON,” owned by CLARY HOOD & ASSOCIATES, INC., a South Carolina corporation, and it covers “mass earth moving services for industrial construction or commercial construction” in International Class 037. Because the registration is limited to those heavy‑equipment construction services, a business using a similar name in a different field—say software, apparel, or food—would face the closest record‑based concern only if it also offered earth‑moving or related construction services. The USPTO entry does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording. The most recent meaningful event is the acceptance of the combined Section 8 (six‑year renewal) and Section 15 (continuation‑in‑force) declaration on Oct 27 2025, confirming the mark’s continued validity. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to operate in the same construction‑earth‑moving niche; otherwise the risk appears limited.
