GEMINI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GEMINI” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, TGS‑NOPEC GEOPHYSICAL COMPANY, did not file a Statement of Use or an extension request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for classes 009 and 042, covering seismic exploration machines and apparatus and analysis services for oil field exploration. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same technical and scientific fields of seismic equipment and oil‑field technology services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Gemini.” The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of publication, opposition, allowance, and extension filings, with the final abandonment event on November 21, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific technical goods and services remain a potential point of concern.
