BABSON BETTERPATH

What this record means

The record shows that “BABSON BETTERPATH” is an abandoned application, filed by Babson Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it is no longer active on the Principal Register. The filing covered Class 010 apparatus for collecting, storing, preparing, analyzing and transporting saliva, blood and urine samples, and Class 044 medical services that include collection and diagnostic testing of those same specimens; a similar name used for anything involving those types of sample‑handling devices or diagnostic services would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Babson” or “Betterpath” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application proceeded to a Notice of Allowance on August 1 2023, but no Statement of Use was filed, leading to an abandonment notice and final abandonment on March 10 2025, which is the latest status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a similar name for medical‑testing equipment or services, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once linked the wording to those specific goods and services.
