GIANNIZZERRA MCDLIII GRUPPO OTTOMANO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark GIANNIZZERRA MCDLIII GRUPPO OTTOMANO is cancelled and listed as “dead” because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, with the cancellation dated Dec 14 2002; the owner was Gruppo Ottomano, Ltd., a Florida partnership. The registration covered Class 025 clothing and related items—shirts, T‑shirts, sweaters, pants, under‑garments, sweatshirts, jackets, coats, plus footwear such as socks, shoes, slippers, boots, and headwear like hats and caps—so a similar name used on apparel or footwear would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other product areas. It sits on the Supplemental Register, reflecting an examiner’s amendment in Dec 1995, approval for Supplemental registration in Dec 1995, and registration on Mar 12 1996; this sequence indicates the mark was deemed descriptive and placed on the Supplemental Register rather than the Principal Register. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name for clothing or related goods.
