SERENADE

What this record means

The record shows that “SERENADE” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead”) that was owned by individual David A. Pendlebury; the cancellation was entered on May 9 2001 because the required Section 8 declaration wasn’t filed. The only goods listed are “biodegradable packing material; namely, popcorn, for use in packaging and shipping” in International Class 016, so a later user of the same word on similar biodegradable or packaging products would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The registration does not give the owner control over every use of the word “SERENADE” in unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the mark cleared on the Principal Register in 1994 and later fell away after the missed Section 8 filing; there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions noted in the file. I’d treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market comparable packing material, but the risk drops sharply for other goods or services.
