ROT-GUTSerial 87050141 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Beers, William
Class 033 -
Filed May 25, 2016
The record shows that ROT‑GUT is an abandoned application, filed by William Beers on May 25 2016 and marked dead on April 24 2017 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “Whiskey” in International Class 033, so the closest area of concern would be any other whiskey‑related product or service using a similar name. The record does not give the owner control over the word ROT‑GUT in unrelated categories such as clothing, food, or software. Because the application was never granted registration on either the Principal or Supplemental Register, there is no enforceable trademark right shown here. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on April 24 2017, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a whiskey brand with a similar name, but the risk is limited to that specific product class.
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.
