What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DAN DEE PRETZELS” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, DAN DEE PRETZEL AND POTATO CHIP COMPANY, THE, failed to renew it. The registration covered the single class 030, which lists the good “PRETZELS” and notes first use in August 1927 and use in commerce in August 1967. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “pretzels,” but it does indicate that a similar name could raise the closest concern for pretzel products. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement activity, and the last meaningful event was the expiration on November 3, 1992. For someone considering a similar name, the expired status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights to pretzel goods.
