SAMSUNG

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, KIM, YONG, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed as a service mark for legal and personal services in class 045, specifically regulatory compliance consulting for pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical diagnostics. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same field of regulatory consulting services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SAMSUNG” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the application was assigned to an examiner, received a non‑final action, and ultimately was abandoned after the applicant did not respond. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are visible in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in the same consulting area, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
