What this record means
The record shows that IDCART is a live, Principal Register registration owned by Standard Sales Corporation, a New York corporation, and it has been active since its registration on August 4 2020. The protection is limited to class 009 “Electrical & Scientific Apparatus” and specifically covers “magnetically encoded identity cards,” with the first use in commerce dated February 11 2019. A similar name used for anything outside that narrow description—such as software, retail services, or non‑card products—would not fall within the exact scope shown, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history contains no indication of a Supplemental Register filing; the mark proceeded straight to registration on the Principal Register after standard examination steps. The most recent meaningful event is a courtesy reminder for the Section 8 filing sent on August 4 2025, confirming the registration is still maintained. No oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market magnetically encoded identity cards under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
