What this record means
The record shows that “HOME PRIDE BUTTER TOP” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Flowers Bakeries Brands, LLC. It protects the word “BUTTER TOP” as used on bread, a staple food, first used in commerce on February 12, 1990. A similar name would raise the closest concern for bread or related staple foods, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a standard examination, with a notice of allowance and registration in 1991, and no supplemental register activity. The most recent event is the renewal on November 16, 2021, which keeps the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the existing registration presents a meaningful risk for bread and staple food uses.
