BRIM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BRIM” was registered on the Principal Register by KRAFT GENERAL FOODS, INC. and has since expired because the registration was not renewed. The only goods listed are decaffeinated coffee under class 030, so the closest concern for a similar name would be in the coffee or broader staple food market. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “BRIM.” The prosecution history indicates a standard registration and renewal sequence with no special examination or supplemental register moves. The last significant event was the cancellation on May 09, 2001, when the registration expired. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is that the mark’s expired status removes the formal protection, but the prior registration could still raise a concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related food category.
