TAIL WAGGIN'
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
This record shows that the mark “TAIL WAGGIN’” is no longer active; it was cancelled on November 15 1993 because the registrant, Continental Grain Company, failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was originally registered on the Principal Register in 1987 for the single class 031, covering dog food. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure rather than a legal challenge, the record does not indicate that the owner has abandoned all rights or that the wording is free for use. The only visible enforcement activity is the cancellation itself; no oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history. A new user looking to adopt a similar name would find the closest concern in the dog‑food category, but the record does not preclude use in unrelated goods or services. The practical risk is that the name remains protected for dog food, and any use in that area could trigger a claim, while uses outside that scope are not covered by this record.
