GRUPPO MASTROTTO CALBE

What this record means

The record shows the mark GRUPPO MASTROTTO CALBE was registered on the Principal Register to GRUPPO CONCIARIO C.A.L.B.E. Spa for “animal hides” (International Class 018) but the registration was cancelled on February 1 2003 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead and no longer in force. The only goods listed are animal hides, so a later user of the same or similar wording in that exact field would encounter the closest record‑based concern; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here and the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was published for opposition in February 1996, and ultimately registered in April 1996 before the later cancellation; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market animal hides under a similar name, but the risk is lower for other product lines.
