FRESH "N" FLOSS

What this record means

The record shows the application for FRESH “N” FLOSS was abandoned, so the mark is not live, registered, pending or cancelled; the owner listed is TOCAD AMERICA INC., a Delaware corporation, and the abandonment was entered on July 31 1990 after the applicant filed an express abandonment. The only goods covered in the filing are “a water jet oral hygiene device for cleaning and irrigating gums and spaces between teeth” in International Class 010, so a similar name used on dental floss, toothbrushes or other oral‑care tools would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products such as clothing or food fall farther from the scope shown. Because the filing never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on February 15 1990 and subsequent correspondence, but no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The latest meaningful event is the express abandonment on July 31 1990, and the supplied history shows no enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a water‑jet dental device with a similar name.
