What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MADDMAX CAR ART” is dead, having been abandoned after publication because the applicant filed an express abandonment. The owner listed is Andreas Hengelhaupt, an individual. The mark covered non‑luminous and non‑mechanical metal signs under class 006, with first use on July 1, 2022. A similar name would raise the closest concern for metal signs or related display signs, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “CAR ART.” The prosecution history shows that the application was approved for publication, the examiner entered an amendment, and the applicant later abandoned the application after publication. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the specific goods listed still represent the closest area of concern.
