DAN-DEE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “DAN‑DEE” is no longer live; it was registered on November 5, 1968, but the owner, DAN DEE PRETZEL AND POTATO CHIP COMPANY, THE, failed to renew it, and the registration expired on November 3, 1992. The mark covered the sale of mixed nuts under class 029, which is a narrow food category. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other goods or services, but the closest concern would arise if a new mark that is identical or very similar is used for mixed nuts or related food items. The prosecution history shows a single “EXPIRED SEC. 9” event, indicating the mark was simply allowed to lapse. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the expired status reduces the risk, but the specific food category remains a potential point of concern.
