DAN DEE

What this record means

The record shows that “DAN DEE” is a dead, expired registration on the Principal Register, owned by DAN DEE PRETZEL AND POTATO CHIP COMPANY, THE, a corporation organized in Ohio. The mark was registered on September 13, 1966, for the goods “CORN CHIPS” in class 030, and the registration expired on December 15, 2000, after the owner failed to renew. Because the mark was only registered for corn chips, a new name that is similar to “DAN DEE” would raise the closest concern only if it is used for corn chips or closely related staple foods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other goods or services. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the expiration in 2000. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the specific corn‑chip market, but the mark’s expired status means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights.
