MOTHER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is no longer live; it was registered on June 2, 1959, but the owner, the partnership JACK & MARION J. RADOVICH, failed to renew it, and it expired on December 29, 2000. The mark covered the sale of fresh fruits under class 031, with first use in 1931. Because the goods are limited to fresh fruits, a new name that is similar would raise the closest concern only if it is used for fresh fruits or closely related food items. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “MOTHER.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the expiration are shown in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the expiration in 2000. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is that the mark’s narrow scope may still create a concern for fresh‑fruit businesses, but it does not block all uses of the word.
