ROBERT & ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER
Pending · Under Examination LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
What this record means
The record shows a live pending application for the service mark ROBERT & ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER, owned by the non‑profit corporation ROBERT AND ETHEL KENNEDY HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER, filed on Nov 26 2025 and currently under examination on the Principal Register. The goods and services listed span class 035 advertising and business (promoting awareness of ethical technology and human‑rights issues), class 036 charitable fundraising for human‑rights advocacy, class 041 education (workshops, conferences, curriculum, and thought‑leadership on human‑rights, diversity, equity, inclusion and ethical technology), and class 045 legal and personal services (non‑profit advocacy, litigation, and government‑accountability work). A similar name used for activities in those areas would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those fields are farther from the scope shown. The latest meaningful event is a final refusal mailed on Aug 5 2026, and the prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name in the same nonprofit‑human‑rights space.
