IDC-EIE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that IDC‑EIE is an abandoned application (status “dead”) filed by Society for Diversity, Inc., a corporation organized in Indiana, and it never reached registration; the USPTO issued a Notice of Allowance on June 22 2021 but the applicant failed to file a required Statement of Use, resulting in an abandonment notice on January 22 2024. The goods and services listed are limited to class 016 paper goods and printed matter—educational publications, manuals, curricula, brochures, and teaching materials focused on diversity, equity, inclusion and leadership—and class 041 education services such as workshops, webinars, seminars, and training programs in the same fields. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for comparable diversity‑focused educational content or training, but the record does not extend control to unrelated products or services. Because the mark was pursued on the Principal Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the allowance followed by abandonment, with no indication of opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a name that targets the same diversity‑education market.
