What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SAMSUNG” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant, Alfredo Zabalá, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 20 2022 and the abandonment was finalized on August 5 2023. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 015, covering harmonicas, with first use on April 12 2022. Because the goods are limited to harmonicas, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the specific scope shown by this record, but the record does not establish control over every use of the word “SAMSUNG.” No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful status event is the abandonment notice mailed on August 5 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would arise if the name were used for harmonicas or closely related musical instruments.
