BEND-A-BRIM

What this record means

The record shows that “BEND‑A‑BRIM” is a cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by F. & M. Hat Company, Inc. The mark covered straw, felt and cloth hats (class 025) and was cancelled on November 12, 2021 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The closest concern for a similar name would be in the hat and headwear market, especially straw or felt hats. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No supplemental register activity is involved. The last maintenance event was the cancellation in 2021; no further dates are supplied. The supplied history shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you are thinking of a name that sounds like “BEND‑A‑BRIM,” you should be cautious about using it for hats or similar headwear, as the cancelled registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in that area.
