CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark CINDERELLA was registered on the Principal Register to ROSENAU BROTHERS, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired on November 3, 1992. The only goods listed are “CHILDREN'S DRESSES” in International Class 025, so the closest area of concern would be any new mark used for children’s clothing or similar apparel. The record does not give ROSENAU BROTHERS control over the word CINDERELLA in other product categories or services. There is no indication that the mark ever appeared on the Supplemental Register, and the prosecution history simply notes the original registration and a renewal in 1968 followed by the expiration in 1992. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand children’s dresses with a similar name, but the risk fades quickly outside that narrow clothing niche.
