What this record means
The record shows that “PURPLE.” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by NCSOFT Corporation, a Korean corporation, and it has been registered since May 24 2022 after filing on June 8 2020. The registration covers communication‑services in International Class 038, specifically video‑on‑demand transmission, internet broadcasting, real‑time online interaction facilities, chat‑room and forum access, electronic transmission of interactive entertainment software, mobile media services, online‑game broadcasting, satellite or multimedia network transmission of sound and images, and related telecommunications services. Because the claim is limited to those digital‑media and telecommunications services, a similar name used for unrelated goods—say, clothing, food, or hardware—would be farther from the scope shown here, while a name used for any of the listed online entertainment or streaming services would present the closest record‑based concern. The latest meaningful event in the file is the registration date of May 24 2022; no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “PURPLE.” for comparable streaming or interactive‑media services, but it does not automatically block every other use of the word.
