What this record means
The record shows that “SANTEE SPRINGS” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on April 24 2026 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, and no later filing has revived it; the owner listed is Niagara Leasing & Procurement, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company. The filing covered only Class 032, specifically bottled drinking water and spring water, so a similar name used for those kinds of beverages would encounter the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Santee” or “Springs.” The prosecution history notes a non‑final action mailed on January 8 2026 and the abandonment notice on April 24 2026, but no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a water‑related brand with a similar name.
