WORDIESSerial 72411070 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: SWIZZELS, LTD.
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Dec 23, 1971
Registered Dec 12, 1972
The record shows that WORDIES is a dead Principal Register registration that expired because it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on Sep 20 1993; the owner listed is SWIZZELS, LTD., a corporation organized in the United Kingdom. The registration covered only class 030 staple foods, specifically confectionery products—namely candies—so a similar name used for candy or other food items would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give SWIZZELS, LTD. control over every use of the word “WORDIES” in unrelated categories, and it does not extend to services or goods outside the narrow candy description. The prosecution history shows the mark was accepted and registered on Dec 12 1972 after a standard filing, with no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or descriptiveness refusal. The only maintenance event noted is the expiration notice in 1993, and the supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market candy under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated products.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
