CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark CINDERELLA was abandoned on Jan 9 1995 after the applicant, Rodgers Family Partnership, The, failed to respond to an Office action, so it is not a live or registered trademark. The only goods listed are “music publications; namely, sheet music” in International Class 016, meaning the closest area of concern would be any other sheet‑music or printed music products using the same name. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Cinderella” in unrelated fields, and it never reached the Supplemental Register—its prosecution history simply moves from examiner assignment to a final refusal and then abandonment. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on Jan 9 1995, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a sheet‑music brand with the same name, but the risk drops sharply for other types of goods.
