BANZA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BANZA” is dead, having been abandoned by BC Ventures LLC after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed as a service mark on May 4, 2022 and was registered on the Principal Register for class 035, covering influencer marketing services. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word in any context, but the record indicates that the closest area of concern would be other influencer‑marketing or advertising services that use the same name. The prosecution history shows a standard Office action followed by a refusal to respond, leading to abandonment; no supplemental registration or amendments appear. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on June 15, 2023. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer enforceable, the name was once considered distinctive for influencer‑marketing services, so caution is still warranted in that field.
