Revival House Trademark Published

revival_house_official_gazette_430x195

There it is (edited slightly for the sake of saving space).  Buried on page 1078 of a 1658 page long PDF document.  Boy that was a dull 1077 pages!  What?  ‘Search’ you say?  Curious… :-)

That is the entry for Revival House, Kathryn’s new production company, as it appears in the USPTO Official Gazette, the fortnightly publication detailing new trademarks up for opposition.

Now there is a 30 day wait (from the 14th of Feb 2012 date of the document’s release) for people to register their opposition.

If my understanding is correct (and I’ve proven before it could easily not be) a further 8 weeks beyond that date a registration certificate will be issued.  Then the mark has to be used within 6 months and a statement to that effect filed with the USPTO.

To liven up this not-so-exciting process here is a countdown timer to the end of that 30 day period.  I’ve chosen 9am LA time (PST) on the day in question (15th March 2012) as the zero hour.

Now I know how to do a countdown timer expect it to appear again in future :-)

Revival House Trademark A Step Closer

revival_house_430x38

A few weeks ago I posted about how the name of Kathryn’s new production company, Revival House, had been “approved for publication” as a trademark.

Although every word of the piece was true, and still is, in light of new information the headline and tone was a little misleading.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing.  I’m no expert (clearly!) in trademark law and should have researched the meaning of the phrase further before posting.  Apologies for any confusion caused.  Mea culpa.

To clarify the situation: a recent update in the process suggests to me that “approved for publication” actually means that the chosen name cleared basic checks to search for any obvious clashes with other organisations in the same field.  That’s the “approved” part.  The next step is “publication”.

A couple of weeks ago “notification of publication” was issued stating that the “mark” will be included in the Official Gazette, the weekly journal of the USPTO (United States Patent And Trademark Office) that details filed applications.  This is done to allow for 3rd parties to raise issues.  Any opposition has to be put forward within 30 days of the publication.  It is the “speak now or for ever hold your peace” moment.  Revival House will be include in the Feb 14th edition.

Being a fan of Kathryn is educational.  Who knew?  :-)

Revival House Trademark Approved

Just before Xmas 2011 the trademark for Kathryn’s new production company, Revival House, was “approved for publication.”

The trademark covers the use of the name by a company for “Entertainment, namely, production of television shows and motion pictures.”

All though the lack of this approval would not have prevented the usage of the name, hopefully this small step is a good sign for things progressing in this area.  Fingers cross for more news soon.

Prospect Looks Good For Revival

Nellie Andreeva at Deadline.com is reporting that production company Prospect Park has a batch of new projects in the works.  Why is this of interest to us here at KM UK?  Well, one of them is the Princess Of Whales show we recently found out about that Kathryn is co-producing.

Prospect Park appears to have a very good track record for getting shows on air, so hopefully that bodes well for Kathryn’s latest project which revolves around a Las Vegas hostess.

Revival House

The recent news about Kathryn’s latest foray into TV drama production included references to a new production company by the name of Revival House.

A couple of months ago we reported on the abandonment of the trademark for Hotplate Productions, Kathryn’s previous company.  We’ve now found trademark details for Revival House.  Not surprisingly the details are identical for each company save for the registered name and the dates.  The application was filed on September 2nd.  At the time of writing it has not been accepted.

You can see the details on the Trademarkia website.

As an aside, “revival house” is a term to describe a cinema that shows old movies rather than new ones.
