CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark CINDERELLA was registered on the Principal Register to RAPID DISPLAYS, INC., a corporation organized in Illinois, but it is now dead because the registration was not renewed and expired on March 8, 2008. The only goods listed are “equipment sold as a unit for playing a board‑type game” in International Class 028, first used in commerce on June 3, 1975. A similar name used for board‑game equipment would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as clothing or software fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the registration is expired, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Cinderella.” The latest meaningful event is the cancellation for failure to file a Section 8 declaration on March 8, 2008, and the history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a board‑game product under a similar name.
