THOT PATENT

What this record means

The record shows a live, registered Principal Register service mark owned by individual Norman B. Thot, with the registration date of April 16 2024 and a notice of updated registration confirmation emailed on April 29 2025. The mark covers “Patent agent services; patent watch services; patent and industrial property consultation; legal services relating to granting of patents; licensing of patents; licensing of design patents; intellectual property consultancy services in the field of patents and patent applications; trademark agent services; legal services, namely, trademark maintenance service; providing assistance in the prosecution of trademark applications; legal services relating to issuing of trademark registrations; legal services, namely, preparation of applications for trademark registration; attorney services, namely, representation of clients in patent, design patents and federal trademark matters; intellectual property …” in International Class 045. A similar name used for any of those patent‑ or trademark‑related legal services would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow legal‑services field are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THOT PATENT.” No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the history, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer comparable patent or trademark legal services under a similar name.
