GEMINI

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GEMINI” is dead, having been abandoned by Orthofix US LLC because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 8, 2021 under an intent‑to‑use basis for processed bone matrix material used in orthopedic surgery to promote bone formation, a class 005 pharmaceutical product. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GEMINI.” The closest area of concern would be other businesses dealing with processed bone matrix or similar orthopedic pharmaceuticals. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of a non‑final action, a voluntary amendment, and eventual abandonment, with no evidence of opposition or cancellation. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on January 3, 2023. Since the supplied history contains no enforcement activity, there is no visible signal of the owner actively protecting the mark. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods in class 005 still present a closer concern than unrelated uses.
