What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SEE‑ME’S” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is John Smales, an individual, and the mark was filed on December 30, 2024 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 017 goods of a highway or freeway traffic control device. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant any rights or control over the wording in any context. The only visible event in the prosecution history is the abandonment notice on September 23, 2025; no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied data. A similar name used for traffic control devices or related highway equipment would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. For someone thinking of a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the name is applied to highway traffic control devices, but no broader claim is evident.
