CRESCENT MOON DUST POWDERS THAT APPLY LIKE PAINT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “CRESCENT MOON DUST POWDERS THAT APPLY LIKE PAINT” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, POTOMAC CORPORATION, failed to file a declaration of continued use. The mark covered ground paper particles of various colors used as a painting medium in art and crafts projects, specifically class 016. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the mark’s wording and the described goods overlap. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, registered, and later cancelled; no supplemental register activity is involved. The latest status event is the cancellation on April 24, 2004, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the same goods and wording still present a potential concern.
