TAIL WAGGIN'

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TAIL WAGGIN’” is no longer active; it was cancelled on October 7, 1987 because the registrant, Continental Grain Company, failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1980 for the goods “dog food” under class 031. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure rather than an opposition or abandonment, the record does not indicate that the owner has taken any enforcement action against other users. The cancellation means the mark is not currently protected, but it also does not mean the wording is free for all uses. The closest concern would arise if someone used the same name for dog food or related pet‑food products, as that falls directly within the goods listed. No other classes or services appear in the record, so any use outside dog food would be farther from the specific scope shown. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use involves dog food or closely related pet‑food items.
