What this record means
The record shows the mark ALMOST ELTON JOHN is abandoned, with the last status dated Feb 20 2025, and the owner listed as Jerred Price, an individual who filed a use‑in‑commerce application on Apr 16 2024. The only goods and services covered are “musical services – live performances for festivals, private parties, and more” in International Class 045, so a similar name used for any kind of musical performance would be the closest area of concern, while uses outside that class—such as recordings, merchandise, or unrelated services—are farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “almost elton john.” The prosecution history shows a non‑final office action in November 2024 followed by an abandonment notice in February 2025 because the applicant failed to respond, and no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan live‑performance services under a comparable name.
