UNDER THE SPOTLIGHTSerial 99552931 · Principal Register
Pending · Published for Opposition
Owner: Bentley Mills, Inc.
Class 027 -
Filed Dec 17, 2025
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT owned by Bentley Mills, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and it is slated for the Principal Register. The goods listed are “Carpets, rugs, mats and matting, linoleum for covering existing floors; Carpet backing; Carpet tiles; Carpeting” in International Class 027, so a similar name used on flooring or carpet products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “under the spotlight” in unrelated industries. The most recent meaningful event is the issuance of a Notice of Allowance on March 31 2026, which now requires the applicant to file a Statement of Use or request an extension within six months. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for floor‑covering goods.
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.
