ALPHABET CITYSerial 87227135 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: Higher Grounds Cafe, Inc.
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Nov 04, 2016
Registered Jul 04, 2017
The record shows that “ALPHABET CITY” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Higher Grounds Cafe, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The mark protects the goods listed in class 030, which include coffee beans, coffee, coffee substitutes, and coffee‑based beverages, all first used in commerce on January 1, 2003. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses dealing in those coffee‑related products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Alphabet” or “City” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration without any supplemental register steps. The most recent status event is the acceptance of the 8‑year and 15‑year renewal notices on August 30, 2023. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using the same or a confusingly similar name for coffee‑related goods could trigger a claim of infringement.

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.
