What this record means
The record shows that the mark “.META” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Habib Md Shakil Ferdous, an individual organized in New York. The mark was filed on October 22, 2022 under an intent‑to‑use basis and covered services in class 042 (scientific and technology services such as virtual testing, computer programming for virtual worlds, and online community services in the metaverse, web3, and blockchain) and class 045 (legal and personal services related to domain name registration, monitoring, and consultancy). A similar name would raise the closest concern in these areas, especially where the services involve virtual worlds, blockchain, or domain name management. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in September 2023 and the abandonment notice in January 2024, with no enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific services listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use overlaps those services.
