SOUL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “SOUL” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Leslie K. Nilsen, an individual. It covers travel guide and travel information services under class 039, with first use on January 31, 2023. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve publishing or providing travel guides or related travel information. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SOUL”; it is limited to the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in August 2024, followed by a response and eventual registration in May 2025, indicating the mark was initially refused but later approved. The most recent significant event is the registration on May 13, 2025. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, registered mark in the travel guide space suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use overlaps those services.
