AFTONSerial 78820922 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: FL Food Lion, Inc.
Class 032 - Light Beverages
Filed Feb 22, 2006
Registered Apr 17, 2007
The record shows that the mark AFTON was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. No. 3231675) to FL Food Lion, Inc., a Florida corporation, but the registration was cancelled on Nov 22, 2013 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The only goods listed are “BEVERAGES, NAMELY, SOFT DRINKS” in International Class 032, meaning the closest record‑based concern would be any new use of the name AFTON for soft‑drink beverages or similar non‑alcoholic drinks. The record does not give the owner control over the word AFTON in other product categories, so unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown here. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, received a Notice of Allowance, and was allowed on the Principal Register before later cancellation; there is no indication of opposition, cancellation proceedings, or other enforcement activity in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use AFTON for soft drinks, but the risk drops for other types of products.
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.
