BRIM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BRIM” was once registered on the Principal Register but was cancelled on October 6, 2001 because the registrant, Cabletron Systems, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered bridge interface modules and related parts and peripherals sold as a unit, specifically electrical and scientific apparatus in class 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class and for those specific goods. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides protection, but the record does not give anyone the right to use the wording in any other context or class. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration sequence, with no Supplemental Register activity. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking at a similar name, the risk is that the cancelled mark may still be considered a prior use in that narrow field, so caution is advised.
