MARLBOROSerial 73173353 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: DAVID KAHN, INC.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jun 06, 1978
Registered Feb 20, 1979
The record shows that the mark “MARLBORO” is no longer live; it was a principal registration that expired because it was not renewed. The owner listed is DAVID KAHN, INC., a corporation organized in New Jersey. The registration covered class 016, specifically writing instruments such as pens and parts thereof, and the mark’s first use dates back to 1945. A new name that is very similar and used for pens or related paper goods would raise the closest concern because the goods match the registered scope. The record does not give the mark any blanket control over the word “Marlboro” in other contexts. The last maintenance event was the cancellation of the 10‑year renewal on April 11, 2000, after which the mark expired. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you’re thinking of a similar name for pens or related goods, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion.

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.
