ESMERALDA
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that ESMERALDA is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by AGRI‑FRESH PRODUCE, INC.; it was registered on May 29 1990 but the registration was cancelled on Dec 2 1996 because the owner did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The only goods listed are “fresh vegetables, namely asparagus” in International Class 031, so a similar name used for fresh produce—especially asparagus or other vegetables—would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “esmeralda” in unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the normal flow from filing in 1989 to registration in 1990 and then the Section 8 cancellation in 1996; there is no indication of opposition, cancellation proceedings, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand fresh vegetables under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
