What this record means
The record shows that “DAN THE GUTTERMAN” is a live, registered service mark owned by Dan the Gutterman, LLC, a limited liability company organized in Ohio. The mark protects services in class 037, specifically clearing and cleaning gutters; drain cleaning; installation, repair, and replacement of gutters, drains, downspouts, and related discharge lines. A similar name used for these gutter‑related services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Dan,” “Gutterman,” or “Gutter” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication and published for opposition on September 10, 2024, and then registered on December 10, 2024. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The next consequential date would be the first maintenance filing due in five years, but that date is not provided. For anyone looking to use a similar name in gutter services, the existing registration suggests a meaningful risk of infringement.
