CINDERELLA

What this record means

The record shows that the “CINDERELLA” application filed by Imperial Toy Corporation on August 31 1994 is now abandoned, with the last status change recorded on October 10 1995 when the USPTO marked the file dead because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; there is no indication of any later maintenance or renewal activity. The only goods listed are “children’s play shoes and children’s toy jewelry” in International Class 028, so a similar name used for footwear or toy accessories for kids would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Imperial Toy any control over every possible use of the word “Cinderella,” only over the specific goods described. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in February 1995 and the subsequent abandonment in October 1995, but no supplemental register filing appears. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signals are visible. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a brand for children’s shoes or toy jewelry, but the risk drops sharply for other product lines.
