BORN & BOTTLED IN THE U.S.A.
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows the mark BORN & BOTTLED IN THE U.S.A. is cancelled, having been removed from the Principal Register on Feb 17 2007 because the registrant failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is CULLIGAN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY, a Delaware corporation. The registration covered only “bottled water” in International Class 032, so a later use of a similar phrase on water or other beverages would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated product categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording, just the specific bottled‑water goods noted. No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for bottled water, because the cancelled registration still signals a prior claim in that exact market.
