NWA NORTHWEST AIRLINES

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “NWA NORTHWEST AIRLINES” (serial 97819077) was abandoned on May 21, 2024 because the applicant, Malibu Shirts, Inc., a California corporation, failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The filing covered only class 025 – clothing such as hats, sweatshirts and T‑shirts – so a similar name used on apparel would be the closest area of concern, while uses in other categories (for example airline services) fall outside the scope shown in this record. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “NWA NORTHWEST AIRLINES.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice and abandonment entry on May 21, 2024, and the prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand clothing with a comparable name.
