FORTITER PRO PATRIA

What this record means

The record shows that “FORTITER PRO PATRIA” is a live, registered collective membership mark owned by the GENERAL SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS, a corporation organized in the District of Columbia. It is registered on the Principal Register and covers the specific goods of indicating membership in a society of adult males who are lineal descendants of certain ancestors who served in the armed forces of the colonies or Great Britain between May 13 1607 and April 19 1775. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same membership‑indicating context, especially if the goods or services relate to lineage societies or historical military heritage. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the described membership indication. The most recent event is the renewal of the registration on March 5 2025. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active, specific membership mark suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use falls within the same or a closely related scope.
