CLOSE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark CLOSE was registered on the Principal Register to R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, a New Jersey corporation, for cigarettes (International Class 034) with a first use date of December 9, 1976, but the registration was cancelled on July 31, 1990 after the owner surrendered it under Section 7. Because the only listed goods are cigarettes, the closest area of concern for a new applicant would be any use of the word CLOSE on tobacco products or related smoking accessories; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word. The latest meaningful event in the file is the surrender and cancellation in 1990, and the prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for tobacco‑related goods.
