GRUPPO DI CAPI

What this record means

The record shows that GRUPPO DI CAPI is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by Moba, Inc., a California corporation, and it is no longer live; the registration was cancelled on September 1 1997 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration. The filing covered only clothing – knitshirts, shirts, trousers, pullovers, jackets, vests, suits, blouses, blazers, cardigans, t‑shirts, shorts, shoes, belts, ties, scarves, suspenders, socks and hats – so a later use of the same wording on apparel would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Moba control over every possible use of the words “GRUPPO DI CAPI” in other product categories or services. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was published for opposition in November 1990, registered in February 1991, and then cancelled for lack of a Section 8 filing in 1997; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand clothing with the same name.
