ROT HEAD
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “ROT HEAD” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Mattel, Inc.; the registration was cancelled on August 29 1994 because the owner failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The only listed goods are watches in International Class 014, so a later use of “Rot Head” for watches or closely related time‑keeping accessories would raise the most direct record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark is not active, the record does not give Mattel control over every possible use of the words “Rot Head.” The prosecution history notes the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and registered on the Principal Register in early 1988 before its later cancellation; no opposition or cancellation proceedings appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a watch‑related brand using a similar name.
