ROT-WEISS

What this record means

The record shows that ROT‑WEISS is a cancelled Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 1105746) owned by SCIPIO FRUCHTVERTRIEB KG, a German corporation; the cancellation was entered on May 21 1985 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The only goods listed are “FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND CITRUS FRUITS” in International Class 031, so a later user of the same wording on unrelated products such as clothing or software would face a much more distant concern than a fresh fruit business using a similar name. The record does not give the owner any blanket control over every use of the words ROT or WEISS. Because the mark was never placed on the Supplemental Register, there is no examination sequence to explain. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in 1985, and no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market fresh produce under a similar name.
