ROBERT COURTNEY PRESENTS BRANDING 4 BEGINNERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark ROBERT COURTNEY PRESENTS BRANDING 4 BEGINNERS (Serial 98244325) is dead, having been abandoned on Oct 13 2025 because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance was issued; the owner listed is Kirk McClung, an individual. The registration, while it was active, covered education services in Class 041 – specifically “providing classes, seminars, workshops in the field of marketing and branding.” A similar name used for any marketing‑or branding‑related teaching, training, or workshop services would be the closest area of concern, because that is the exact scope the USPTO record tied to the mark. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “branding” or “beginners” in unrelated fields. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on Oct 13 2025; no further dates are listed. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer marketing or branding education under a similar name.
