BANZASerial 86218748 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Banza LLC
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Mar 12, 2014
The record shows that the mark “BANZA” is dead and was abandoned by Banza LLC, a limited liability company organized in Michigan, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering staple foods such as tortillas and breakfast cereals. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of packaged or processed food products, especially tortillas or cereal items. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Banza” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a series of extensions and a petition to revive the application, but ultimately the abandonment notice was issued. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for food products, this abandoned registration suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in that specific market.

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.
