SMILINGSerial 79078106 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: NINGBO JIANGBEI CONGZHONGXIAO; GIFT CO., LTD
Class 004 -
Filed Jan 04, 2010
The record shows that the “SMILING” application filed by NINGBO JIANGBEI CONGZHONGXIAO; GIFT CO., LTD, a corporation organized in China, is dead – it was abandoned on Jan 4 2020 after the underlying International Registration under the Madrid Protocol was cancelled, and no revival petition was allowed. The only listed goods are fragrant candles, nightlights candles, paraffins, tapers, Christmas‑tree candles, carnauba wax, beeswax, lighting fuel and candles in class 004, so a similar mark used for those types of scented or decorative lighting products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “SMILING,” especially outside the candle and wax market. The prosecution history shows a refusal and subsequent abandonment rather than a move to the Supplemental Register, so there is no supplemental‑register nuance to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated Jan 4 2020, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a candle‑related brand, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
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.
