VOGEL POPCORN ONLY THE BEST KERNELS MAKE ITSerial 73787194 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: GOLDEN VALLEY MICROWAVE FOODS, INC.
Class 031 -
Filed Mar 17, 1989
Registered Nov 21, 1989
The record shows that the mark “VOGEL POPCORN ONLY THE BEST KERNELS MAKE IT” was registered on the Principal Register on November 21, 1989, but it was cancelled on May 28, 1996 because the registrant, Golden Valley Microwave Foods, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered the goods “UNPOPPED, I.E. RAW POPCORN” in class 031. Because the cancellation was due to a failure to maintain the registration, the mark no longer has enforceable rights, but the historical registration still indicates that the owner once claimed exclusive rights to that wording for raw popcorn. A similar name that refers to raw popcorn would be the closest record‑based concern, while uses unrelated to popcorn would be farther from the specific scope shown. The supplied history shows no oppositions, extensions, or other enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a potential, but not definitive, risk if the name is used for raw popcorn products.

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.
