BIRKENSTOCK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BIRKENSTOCK” is no longer live; it was cancelled on July 28 1997 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Birkenstock Orthopadie GMBH, a corporation organized in Germany. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering retail store and mail‑order catalog services in the field of footwear, with first use in commerce on July 18 1989. Because the goods are specifically footwear retail services, a similar name used for other types of products or services would be farther from the scope shown, but the record still indicates a close concern for footwear‑related retail or catalog activities. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation itself; no further dates are listed. If you are thinking of a similar name for footwear retail or catalog services, this history suggests a meaningful concern.
