ALMOST HEAVEN
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “ALMOST HEAVEN” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by the West Virginia Department of Tourism, a state agency, and it was registered on December 30 2025 after a final refusal was overcome earlier that year. The registration covers “Advertising, marketing and promotion services; Promoting recreation and tourism in West Virginia” (International Class 035), so the closest area of concern would be any other advertising or tourism‑related services that promote West Virginia or a similar destination. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “almost heaven” in unrelated fields, and it is not on the Supplemental Register. The most recent status event is the registration confirmation emailed on December 30 2025; no later maintenance deadline is listed. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a tourism‑or advertising‑focused brand in West Virginia.
