AFTON CHEMSerial 78381152 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION
Class 004 -
Filed Mar 09, 2004
The record shows that “AFTON CHEM” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION (a Delaware corporation), failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with abandonment notice mailed on August 7 2006. The only goods listed are “all purpose lubricants, automobile lubricants, automotive lubricants, graphite lubricants, industrial lubricants, industrial oils, lubricants for industrial machinery, metal cutting fluids” in International Class 004, so a later user of a similar name in that lubricants‑or‑oil space would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “AFTON” or “CHEM” in unrelated fields. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from approval for publication to a notice of allowance and then abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on August 7 2006, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market lubricants or similar industrial fluids 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.
