YELLOW

What this record means

The record shows that the YELLOW application filed by Cheese Land, Inc., a New York corporation, was abandoned on June 22 1997 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are “cheese” in International Class 029, which means the closest area of concern would be any other cheese or closely related processed‑food product using the word YELLOW. The record does not give Cheese Land, Inc. control over every use of the word YELLOW in other categories or for unrelated goods. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never reached registration, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on June 22 1997, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market cheese under the same name, but the risk is limited to that specific product class.
