What this record means
The record shows that “REMEMBRANCE PLANNER” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on May 20 2024 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is ValMark Memorial Group, Inc., a Florida corporation. Because the filing contains no class or goods‑and‑services description, the visible scope of protection is essentially empty; a similar name would only raise a concern if the eventual registration were to add specific services, but the current record does not give the owner control over any particular product or service. The prosecution history notes an approval for publication on Jan 10 2024 followed by a withdrawal and then the abandonment notice in May 2024, with no later maintenance filings or enforcement actions appearing in the file. I'd treat this as a modest red flag – the name is not currently protected, yet the abandoned filing signals that the owner once pursued it, so you may still want to watch for a future registration.
