YELLOW
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows the YELLOW application is dead – it was abandoned on Nov 27 1995 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, and the owner listed is DISTRIBUTEURS GROSSISTES DE FRANCE. The filing covered class 029 (preserved, dried, cooked vegetables and fruits, dairy products, jams, jellies, edible fats and oils) and class 030 (coffee, cocoa, chocolate, sugar confectionery, honey, breads, pastries, biscuits and related bakery items), all filed as “use in commerce” beginning June 1 1990. A later filing that uses the same word for food‑related goods would run into the closest record‑based concern here, because the listed goods are fairly broad within the food category. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word YELLOW, especially outside those food categories. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply shows an examiner assignment, a non‑final action and the eventual abandonment. The supplied history contains no opposition, cancellation or court activity, so no enforcement signal is visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for food products, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
