CLAUDE MICHAEL

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CLAUDE MICHAEL” is no longer live; it was registered on August 1, 1978, but the owner, Marshall Industries, a California corporation, failed to renew it, so the registration expired on May 11, 1999. The mark covered mechanical soldering irons, solder removers and soldering aids, electric irons and desoldering irons, and plastic containers for holding chemicals. A new name that is very similar would raise the closest concern in these specific product categories, especially if the goods are sold or used in commerce in the same way. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the goods listed. The prosecution history shows a standard registration process with no supplemental register moves. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the expired status means there is no active protection, but the historical goods list still signals a potential concern if the new name targets the same or related products.
