What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SOUL” is dead; it was abandoned because the applicant, John Smith, failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on January 3 2024 and the abandonment was noted on November 22 2024. It was a service mark on the Principal Register for restaurant and hotel services, specifically restaurant, restaurant and bar services, restaurant and bar services including carry‑out, and restaurant and cafe services. A similar name used in those same or closely related services would raise the closest concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “SOUL.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on November 22 2024. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the goods and services listed still represent the most relevant area of potential concern.
