What this record means
The record shows that the mark “.SOUL” is dead because the owner, Robert W. Lynch, failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register, filed on June 15 2024, published for opposition on February 4 2025, and allowed on April 1 2025. It covers association services, specifically promoting the interests of satirists, under class 035. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class and for the same type of services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “soul” in other contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on November 3 2025. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that specific wording in that class, but the history still signals a prior claim that could affect future use.
