WEATHER TOPPER DRY WALL

What this record means

This mark is no longer live; the registration expired on June 17 1984 and the record shows it as dead. The owner listed is BOTANY GMR CORP., a corporation organized in New York. The mark covered men’s, women’s and children’s raincoats, suburban coats, jackets and ski jackets under class 025. A similar name would raise the closest concern for apparel, especially outerwear, because the goods listed are the only ones shown in the record. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording “WEATHER TOPPER DRY WALL”; it applies only to the specific clothing items listed. The prosecution history shows a single expiration event under §9, with no opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity recorded. Since no enforcement signals appear, the supplied history shows none. For someone thinking of a similar name, the risk is that use in the same clothing category could be seen as infringing the expired mark, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the record’s scope.
