What this record means
The record shows that “CLASSIC CHOICES BY FITZ AND FLOYD” is a dead mark that was abandoned by Fitz and Floyd, Inc., a Delaware corporation, because the applicant never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for goods in class 021, specifically a wide range of household and kitchen containers made of porcelain, ceramic, glass, earthenware, bone china, and related serving ware such as plates, bowls, cups, mugs, salt and pepper shakers, sugar and creamer, canape plates, butter dishes, serveware, coffee and tea pots, pitchers, urns, drinking glasses, casseroles, bakeware, trivets, napkin rings, candy dishes, jars, ice buckets, champagne buckets, wine coolers, soap dishes, flower pots, vases, acrylic and wooden serving trays, and gift ware including collectible plates, picture frames, mantle clocks, candleholders, and porcelain bells. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same or very similar kitchenware and gift‑ware categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Classic Choices” or “Fitz and Floyd” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, allowed, and then abandoned after the applicant failed to file the required use statement. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new mark is used for comparable kitchen or household goods.
