UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the service mark UNDER THE INFLUENCE filed by John Harbour Baxter as an individual, and it is currently under examination on the Principal Register; the most recent event is a final Office refusal mailed on June 4 2026 after the applicant’s response period expired. The application covers “live entertainment performances by artists in the nature of live musical performances on stage and in concert for performances for others” in International Class 041, so a similar name used for concerts, tours, or other live music events would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “under the influence” in unrelated fields. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a live‑music brand, because the goods match closely.
