FIDESerial 86960702 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Namib Brand Investments (Pty) Limited
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Apr 01, 2016
The record shows that the mark “FIDE” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Namib Brand Investments (Pty) Limited, a company organized in Namibia. The only goods listed are clothing items such as lingerie, bras, pants, stockings, and related apparel, as well as footwear and headgear. A similar name used for those types of apparel or for headgear would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FIDE” in other contexts. No prosecution history or enforcement activity appears in the supplied data, so the supplied history shows none. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on April 17, 2023. For someone looking to use a similar name in the apparel or headgear space, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the abandoned mark.
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.
