SANTEE SPRINGS

What this record means

The record shows that the application for SANTEE SPRINGS has been abandoned, so it is not a live or registered mark; the owner listed is Niagara Leasing & Procurement, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company. The filing covered only class 032 – “Light Beverages” – specifically bottled drinking water, spring water, water beverages and drinking water, with a first use date of July 22, 1996. Because the protection was limited to those water‑related products, a similar name used for anything outside that narrow category would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Santee Springs.” The prosecution history shows the USPTO issued a non‑final office action in January 2026 and then sent an abandonment notice in April 2026 after the applicant failed to respond, leading to the current dead status. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market water‑type beverages under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
