MANGOBUTTER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MANGOBUTTER” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled. The owner was Fabrichem, Inc., a corporation organized in Connecticut. The mark covered mango seed extract used in cosmetics such as lipstick, skin creams, lotions, emollients, and moisturizers, with first use in commerce on January 1, 1998. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer confers exclusive rights, but the historical registration still indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for products in the same cosmetic category. The record does not give control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward path: application filed in 1998, publication for opposition in 1999, registration in November 1999, and cancellation in August 2006 for failure to file a Section 8 declaration. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations beyond the cancellation itself appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk lies in the cosmetic products area where the cancelled mark once had protection.
