What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FLUFFY” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, HOUSE PRODUCTS CORPORATION, failed to renew it. The registration covered class 016 goods, specifically toilet tissue, facial tissue, and paper towels, with first use in May 1929. A new use of the name on similar paper‑tissue products would raise the closest concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “Fluffy.” The prosecution history indicates the mark was registered in 1955 and renewed in 1975, with the last status event being the expiration in 1996. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the expired status suggests a lower risk, but the specific paper‑tissue scope remains a potential point of concern.
