CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows a dead Principal Register registration (Serial 71096025) that was owned by Rosenau Brothers, a Pennsylvania firm, and covered children’s dresses in International Class 025; the filing dates back to 1916 and the registration lapsed when it was not renewed, with the last status change recorded on July 21 1997. Because the registration was limited to children’s clothing, the closest area of concern for a similar name would be another brand selling children’s dresses or related apparel. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Cinderella” in other product categories or services. No prosecution history is listed, and there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions noted, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I’d treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the name for children’s clothing, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
