GENERAL SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS FORTITER PRO PATRIA 1607 1775

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GENERAL SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS FORTITER PRO PATRIA 1607 1775” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by the GENERAL SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS, a corporation organized in the District of Columbia. The mark protects the specific phrase as it appears, but the record does not give the owner exclusive rights to the words “General Society” or the dates “1607” and “1775” outside the exact mark. The goods covered are membership indications for 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 if used in a context that signals membership in a society of such descendants. The latest status event is a renewal on April 7 2025, with no enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using the exact phrase in the same membership‑indicating context could conflict with this active registration.
