THE BRUTE

What this record means

The record shows that “THE BRUTE” is a live Principal Register registration owned by SARGENT & GREENLEAF, INC., a corporation organized in Indiana, and it covers the single listed good of “LOCKS” in International Class 006, with first use in April 1971. Because the registration is limited to locks, a later business that wants to use a similar name for unrelated products—say clothing or software—would face the closest record‑based concern only if it also dealt with locks or closely related security hardware; the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “THE BRUTE.” The most recent meaningful event is the February 17 2026 notice that the registration and its Section 8/9 renewal (fourth ten‑year renewal) were accepted, confirming the mark’s continued active status. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market lock‑related products under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for dissimilar goods.
