What this record means
The record shows that the mark “DRESS IT UP! WITH FLAVOR, NOT CALORIES BRISK SALAD DRESSING” is dead and was abandoned because the owner, Richard E. Davis, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on January 16, 2001, published for opposition on July 9, 2002, and allowed on October 1, 2002, but was abandoned on April 2, 2004. The goods covered are salad dressings, sauces, condiments, and relish, specifically in class 030. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of salad dressings and related condiments. The record does not give the owner control over every use 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 means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new name is used in the same category.
