What this record means
The record shows that the mark MEAN is abandoned, with the latest status date of April 22 2025, and the owner listed as Mean LLC, a Wyoming limited‑liability company. The application covered only class 005 – “dietary and nutritional supplements” – with a first use date of November 10 2023, so a similar name used for those kinds of products would be the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the USPTO file no longer grants any exclusive control over the word MEAN in any category, and it certainly does not extend to unrelated goods or services. The prosecution history records a series of non‑final office actions in 2024 and a final abandonment notice in April 2025 after the applicant failed to respond, which is why the application was dismissed. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market supplements under a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific product class.
