BRIM TRIM

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BRIM TRIM” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Gregory A. Steiner, an individual, and the mark was filed on September 9, 1996 under an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 025 goods of “brim attachment for caps.” Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any context. However, the closest area of concern would be any new product that is a brim attachment for caps, as that is the exact goods description in the abandoned record. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action mailed on December 9, 1996 and abandonment on September 2, 1997, with no further enforcement activity recorded. Since the supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals, there is no evidence that the owner has pursued protection or enforcement. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer enforceable, a new use in the same or a closely related category could still raise a concern based on this abandoned filing.
