What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SGM MINISTRIES SURRENDER TO GOD MINISTRIES CONTACT INFO…[email protected]” is dead and was abandoned because the applicant, Tina Aofolaju, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on March 9, 2022 and the abandonment notice was issued on May 1, 2023. It was a service mark on the Principal Register for legal and personal services, specifically Christian ministry services, with first use in commerce on January 6, 2021. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer confers exclusive rights, but the record still shows that the wording was once considered distinctive for ministry services. A similar name used in the same or closely related services could raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated areas would be farther from the scope shown. The history contains no enforcement actions, and the latest event is the abandonment notice. If you are thinking of a similar name for ministry services, this history suggests a meaningful concern that the mark was once active in that field.
