What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BRIK‑IT‑IN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is DUCANE HEATING CORPORATION, a corporation organized in South Carolina, and the mark was filed on July 24, 1985. The only goods listed are gas grills, with first use on March 31, 1985. Because the mark was never registered and is now abandoned, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action mailed on October 9, 1985, followed by abandonment on May 15, 1986; there is no evidence of enforcement activity. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on May 15, 1986. For anyone looking to use a similar name for products or services outside of gas grills, the record suggests a low risk of conflict, but the wording is not protected in any other domain.
