What this record means
The record shows that the mark OPENNODE is abandoned, with the last status dated June 12, 2023, and the owner listed as Opennode, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The application covered financial services in International Class 036, specifically “crypto currency payment and exchange.” Because the filing was for those financial‑technology services, a later use of the same word in a similar crypto‑payment context would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields such as clothing or food fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Opennode, Inc. control over every possible use of the word “OPENNODE.” The prosecution history shows the USPTO issued a non‑final office action in February 2023, assigned the case to an examiner, and then sent abandonment notices in June 2023 after the applicant failed to respond, leading to the abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a crypto‑payment service under a similar name, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once linked the term to that specific financial niche.
