What this record means
The record shows that the service mark CLOSE MINDED (Serial 97579337) is abandoned, with the last status dated April 22 2024, and the owner listed as SNCO CAP I, LLC, a New York limited liability company. The filing covered only one class—Class 036, “Insurance & Financial”—specifically “real estate financing services; venture capital services, namely, providing financing to emerging and start‑up companies.” A similar name used in any of those financial‑service contexts would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope fall farther from the listed area. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Close‑Minded.” The prosecution history shows the application proceeded to allowance on September 19 2023, then required a Statement of Use, which was never filed, leading to an abandonment notice and the final abandonment on April 22 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer financing or venture‑capital services under a similar name.
