What this record means
The record shows a live pending application owned by Susan Simpson for the mark “HOMER V. SIMPSON LL ANTLERS TAVERN BEER,” filed on Aug 17 2026 and currently awaiting examination on the Principal Register. The only listed goods are “Beer” in International Class 032, so a later use of a similar name on any type of beer would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products such as food, clothing or entertainment fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give Susan Simpson control over every use of the words “Homer,” “Simpson,” “Antlers,” or “Tavern” in any context; it only covers the specific beer offering. The prosecution history contains only the filing receipt and entry dates, with no indication of oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market a beer under a comparable name, because the pending claim is focused on that exact product category.
