PREMIO ESMERALDA

What this record means

The record shows a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by PREMIO ESMERALDA, INC., a Florida corporation; the registration was voided on Oct 24 1994 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the mark is now listed as “dead.” It covered only entertainment services in Class 041—specifically, presenting an annual award that honors and recognizes the achievements of persons and entities of Colombian extraction or those sympathetic to Colombian causes. A similar name used for anything outside that narrow award‑presentation context would be farther from the scope shown here, and the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “PREMIO ESMERALDA.” The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition in January 1988, registration in April 1988, and then the later Section 8 cancellation; there are no listed oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable award‑type service, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
