CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark CINDERELLA was registered on the Principal Register to ASSOCIATED FOOD STORES, INC., a New York corporation, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired on Jan 17 1989. The only goods listed are “ICE CREAM SOLD ONLY IN APPLICANT'S GROUP OF RETAIL STORES” in class 030, so a similar name used for ice‑cream sold in the applicant’s own stores would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Cinderella” in other products or services, and it does not extend to unrelated categories. The latest meaningful event is the expiration notice on Jan 17 1989; no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history contains only the expiration entry, and there are no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions shown. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market ice‑cream under a similar name in the same retail context.
