FLUFFY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FLUFFY” is no longer active; it was cancelled on March 28 1991 because the registrant, Keebler Company, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on March 13 1984 for the single class 030, which covers cotton candy. Because the mark was only used for cotton candy, a similar name would raise the closest concern if you were selling or marketing cotton candy or a very closely related confectionery product. The record does not give the registrant control over every use of the word “fluffy”; it only covers that specific product. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered, with no later amendments or supplemental registration. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 1991, and no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the same product is involved.
