WINWIN ADVERTISING

What this record means

The record shows that WINWIN ADVERTISING is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it “dead” after the applicant, Permission.io Inc., failed to respond to an Office action, with the abandonment notice dated May 20 2021. The filing was for a service mark covering “Electronic transfer of virtual currencies; Financial services, namely, providing a virtual currency for use by members of an on‑line community via a global computer network; Financial services, namely, providing electronic transfer of a virtual currency for use by members of an on‑line community via a global computer network” in International Class 036. Because the record is limited to those financial‑technology services, a similar name used in unrelated fields such as advertising, retail or entertainment would be farther from the listed scope, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history shows only the filing, examiner assignment, a non‑final action in November 2020 and the final abandonment in May 2021, with no oppositions or cancellations noted. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a mark in the same virtual‑currency financial services space, but the record does not extend to other industries.
