What this record means
The record shows that the mark ROT has been abandoned, with the latest status event a notice of abandonment on Nov 12, 2025, and the owner listed as Ember Lab LLC, a California limited‑liability company. The application covered “downloadable video and computer game programs” in International Class 009, so a similar name used for software, games or other digital entertainment would be the closest area of concern based on the record. The record does not give Ember Lab control over every possible use of the word ROT; it only reflects the specific goods described. This was a Principal Register filing that never cleared, ending in a final refusal and subsequent abandonment rather than a Supplemental Register entry. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use ROT for comparable digital game products.
