BABSON BLACK AFFINITY NETWORK

What this record means

The record shows the application for BABSON BLACK AFFINITY NETWORK is dead – it was abandoned on Oct 31 2022 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, and the owner listed is Leticia D. Stallworth, a Virginia‑based community organization. The filing covers association services that promote entrepreneurship and financial‑literacy awareness, public awareness of diversity, equity and inclusion, and trade‑association services for black alumni groups and employee resource groups, all in International Class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern if used for any of those nonprofit or trade‑association activities, but the record does not give the owner control over unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action issued in April 2022 followed by abandonment notices in October 2022; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning a comparable name in the same association‑service space.
