What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FLUFFY” is no longer active; it was abandoned by the applicant, Gruma Corporation, a Nevada corporation, after the applicant filed an express abandonment on May 09 1995. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered the single class 030, which lists the goods as tortillas. Because the abandonment was voluntary, the record does not give Gruma any ongoing control over the word “FLUFFY” in any context. The only visible activity in the prosecution history is the examiner’s non‑final action and the eventual abandonment, with no opposition, cancellation, or court action recorded. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment on May 09 1995. Since the record shows no enforcement activity, the supplied history contains none. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the tortilla or staple food market, but the abandoned status means the mark no longer poses a direct legal barrier.
