SEA
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark SEA was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. 1497883) to CHINA NATIONAL CEREALS, OILS & FOODSTUFFS IMPORT & EXPORT CORPORATION, but it was cancelled on May 2 2009 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the registration is now dead. The only listed goods are “PRAWNS” in International Class 029 (Meats & Processed Foods), meaning the closest area of concern is any use of the word SEA on meat or processed‑food products that might be confused with this filing. The record does not give the owner control over every other use of the word SEA in unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was granted registration in 1988, and later maintained with Section 8 filings until the 2009 cancellation; no opposition or cancellation proceedings beyond that are visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use SEA for meat‑related foods, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
