AFTON CHEMSerial 78381137 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION
Class 001 -
Filed Mar 09, 2004
The record shows that “AFTON CHEM” is an abandoned application, filed by AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation) on March 9 2004, and the USPTO marked it dead after no Statement of Use was filed following the Notice of Allowance on November 29 2005; the abandonment notice was mailed on July 31 2006. The only goods listed are chemical additives for manufacturing a wide variety of goods, auxiliary fluids for use with abrasives, heat‑transfer fluids, hydraulic fluids and quenching fluids for industrial metalworking, all in International Class 001. A similar name used for any of those industrial chemicals would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope are farther from the listed coverage. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “AFTON” or “CHEM.” No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market industrial chemicals under a comparable name.
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.
