SMITH ORIGINAL BARBEQUE SAUCE "SLOW SIMMERED SAUCE FOR THE SOUL" BOTTLED AND DISTRIBUTED IN FLOWER MOUND, TX
Serial 78295468 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused

Owner: Steven Aric Smith
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Sep 03, 2003

The record shows that the mark “SMITH ORIGINAL BARBEQUE SAUCE “SLOW SIMMERED SAUCE FOR THE SOUL” BOTTLED AND DISTRIBUTED IN FLOWER MOUND, TX” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Steven Aric Smith, an individual, and the mark was filed on September 3, 2003, with the last status update on December 14, 2004. The goods covered are barbeque sauce, a staple food product. A similar name used for a barbeque sauce would raise the closest record‑based concern because the goods are identical. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific product listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the identical goods still create a potential concern if the name is used in the same category.

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.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
