MARLBOROSerial 74542606 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Sazerac Company, Inc.
Class 033 -
Filed Jun 27, 1994
The record shows that the mark “MARLBORO” is dead and was abandoned by Sazerac Company, Inc., a corporation organized in Louisiana, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on June 27 1994 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was abandoned on September 20 1995. It covered the good “gin” in class 033. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “Marlboro” for any other goods or services, but the closest area of concern remains the sale of gin. The prosecution history indicates a non‑final action mailed in January 1995 and an assignment to an examiner in December 1994, followed by abandonment for lack of response. No enforcement activity such as opposition or cancellation appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, yet the specific use of “Marlboro” in the gin market still presents a closer record‑based concern.

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.
