NORTHWEST

What this record means

The record shows that “NORTHWEST” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by Northwest Exterminating Co., LLC, a Georgia limited‑liability company, and it was registered on March 23 2021 after an intent‑to‑use filing on April 13 2020. The registration covers “disinfecting services; cleaning and sanitizing of commercial and industrial establishments, office buildings, residences, and homes” in International Class 037, so a later business using the same word for those kinds of cleaning or sanitizing services would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “NORTHWEST,” especially in unrelated industries. The prosecution history shows a standard examination path with an examiner’s amendment on June 30 2020, a notice of allowance on September 29 2020, and a statement‑of‑use acceptance before registration; it never involved the Supplemental Register. The most recent meaningful event is a courtesy reminder for the six‑year maintenance filing dated March 23 2026, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name in the same cleaning‑service space.
