THE TRUST PROJECT

What this record means

The record shows that “THE TRUST PROJECT” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by The Trust Project, a California non‑profit corporation, and it has been registered since September 20 2022. The registration covers three classes: Class 035 (providing information and consumer product guidance on best practices for ethical, independent journalism and helping the public and technology platforms assess news trustworthiness), Class 041 (offering educational seminars, conferences and workshops on ethical journalism practices), and Class 042 (supplying information on quality‑control standards for reliable, ethical online news). A similar name used in any of those journalism‑related information, education or technology‑service contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those areas are farther from the listed scope. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE TRUST PROJECT.” The latest meaningful event is the registration confirmation on September 20 2022, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark that serves the same journalism‑ethics information or education market.
