What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark PASSION owned by Passion, Inc., a Georgia‑organized non‑profit corporation, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The filing covers Class 009 goods described as “musical sound recordings; downloadable musical sound recordings; compact discs featuring music; pre‑recorded vinyl records featuring music,” with a claimed first use in 1998. Because the goods are limited to music recordings, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, clothing or software—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another music‑related brand using “PASSION” would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word. The latest meaningful event is the March 3 2026 final refusal notice, which means the USPTO has rejected the application pending any response or appeal. 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 music‑recording brand under the same name.
