TOMATO SOUP

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “TOMATO SOUP” is dead and was abandoned by Smiles Fashion Corp., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was applied for on August 23, 1996, published for opposition on February 18, 1997, and received a Notice of Allowance on May 13, 1997, but the owner never filed a Statement of Use or Extension Request, leading to abandonment on November 14, 1997. The goods listed are children’s clothing, specifically blouses, pants, skirts, shorts, jumpers, jumpsuits, dresses, vests, jackets, and T‑shirts. Because the mark was never registered, it does not grant control over the wording in any other context, but the closest concern would arise if a new mark were used on similar children’s apparel. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that while the mark itself is no longer active, the owner’s earlier claim on children’s clothing could still raise a potential conflict if the new use is in that same category.
