FROM MAMA WITH LOVE

What this record means

The record shows the mark FROM MAMA WITH LOVE is abandoned, not live or pending, and the applicant listed was Alan M. Pottasch as an individual; the application was filed on Nov 10 1994 but was abandoned on May 15 1996 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods and services covered were “retail kiosk and vending machine services featuring meals prepared for taking home; catering and restaurant services” in International Class 042, so a similar name used in any food‑service or restaurant context would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “FROM MAMA WITH LOVE” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the application moved through approval, a non‑final action, an examiner’s amendment, publication for opposition and a Notice of Allowance before the final abandonment, but it never reached registration on the Supplemental Register. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a food‑service brand with a similar name.
