HYPHEN

What this record means

The record shows that the service mark HYPHEN was filed by Hear Me Out Realty Inc., a Canadian corporation, on Feb 8 2023 but is now dead because the applicant abandoned the application after failing to respond to a non‑final Office action, with the abandonment notice dated Feb 29 2024. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 043 for “extended‑stay hotels; hotel accommodation services; hotel restaurant services; hotel services; providing temporary accommodation in serviced apartments; providing temporary hostel housing accommodations; rental of rooms as temporary living accommodation.” A similar name used in connection with any of those hospitality services would be the closest area of concern, while uses outside that scope are farther from the record’s coverage. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “Hyphen.” No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a hospitality‑related brand using the same term.
