What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DRESS IT UP! WITH FLAVOR, NOT CALORIES THE ORIGINAL NEW DRESSING” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Richard E. Davis, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on August 30, 2000, published for opposition on February 26, 2002, and received a Notice of Allowance on May 21, 2002, but was abandoned in February 2003. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering salad dressings, sauces, condiments, and relish. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of salad dressings and related condiments. The record does not give control over all uses of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests the mark no longer protects that wording, but the goods listed still represent a potential area of concern.
