GROUNDED THEATRE COMPANY

What this record means

The record shows that GROUNDED THEATRE COMPANY is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by Shavon Smith, filed on Jan 20 2026 and registered on Aug 11 2026; the most recent status event is the notice of registration confirmation emailed on that same date. The registration covers “Provision of information in the field of recreational activities, namely, Dance and Theatre” (International Class 041), so a later business using a similar name for theater‑related education, programming or promotional information would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “grounded” or “theatre company” outside those listed services. The prosecution history shows a standard examiner’s amendment on May 22 2026 before the mark was approved for publication and ultimately entered on the Principal Register, but no supplemental‑register step appears. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable offering in the same entertainment‑education space.
