ELEANOR PINAFORE

What this record means

The record shows that “ELEANOR PINAFORE” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the listed owner is American Greetings Corporation, a corporation organized in Ohio. The filing covered Class 021 “cannisters” and Class 028 “stuffed toy figures,” both with a first use date of September 8, 1983, so a similar name used on those kinds of products would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Eleanor Pinafore,” only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history notes a non‑final office action mailed on June 12, 1984, assignment to an examiner on April 20, 1984, and an abandonment on January 17, 1985 because the applicant failed to respond or responded late; there are no later maintenance events or renewal dates shown. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market cannisters or stuffed toys under a similar name, but the risk is limited to those product categories.
