XCELLENCE!

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “XCELLENCE!” is dead because the applicant, Andre Small, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on August 12, 2021, and abandoned on November 23, 2022. It was applied for on the Principal Register as a service mark for a wide range of entertainment and education services in class 041, including audio and video recording, live musical performances, multimedia production, and an online portal linking to musical artist sites and ticket information. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for services that overlap with those listed in class 041. The prosecution history shows a standard examination sequence with a non‑final action and eventual abandonment; no enforcement actions or oppositions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, yet the specific entertainment services in class 041 remain a potential area of concern.
