SERENADE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark SERENADE was registered on the Principal Register to MILLiken & Company, a Delaware corporation, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired, with the last status change recorded on April 17 2004. The registration covered only one class – class 024 – specifically “textile fabrics made of wool, cotton and synthetic fibers and combinations thereof for use in the manufacture of wearing apparel.” A similar name used for fabric or apparel would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SERENADE” in any context. The prosecution history simply notes the original filing, registration and the later cancellation for failure to file a Section 8 declaration; there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market fabrics or clothing under a similar name, because the expired registration still signals a historical claim in that product area.
