CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that “CINDERELLA” is a cancelled Principal Register registration, filed by individual George Peter Engelken, and the cancellation was entered on Feb 8 1985 after the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered Class 003 goods described as “all purpose home and institutional cleaner and all purpose detergent,” so a similar name used on cleaning or detergent products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the word “Cinderella” in unrelated categories such as clothing, entertainment or food. There is no Supplemental Register activity or descriptiveness refusal shown, and the prosecution history only reflects the accepted Section 8 filings before the cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “Cinderella” for cleaning products, but the risk is far lower for other types of goods.
