COTTAGESerial 76426951 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Southern Living, Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jul 02, 2002
The record shows that the mark “COTTAGE” was abandoned by Southern Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and is no longer active on the Principal Register. The application was filed on July 2, 2002 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was abandoned on July 22, 2003 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed were magazines about homes, home exteriors, interiors, accessories, decorating, gardening, travel, food, and entertaining. Because the abandoned mark covered a specific type of publication, a new name that is very similar and used for the same or a closely related type of magazine would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “COTTAGE.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone looking at a similar name, the abandoned status means there is no current registration to avoid, but the specific goods listed still suggest a potential concern if the new use is in the same niche.

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.
