COTTAGE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “COTTAGE” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned on December 14, 2003 because the applicant, GROUPE PANTHER, a corporation organized in France, failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 1, 2002 on an intent‑to‑use basis for the class 003 goods of hygienic and body care cosmetic preparations. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “COTTAGE.” The closest record‑based concern would arise if a new mark were used for similar cosmetic or cleaning products, where the specific goods listed in the record overlap. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use is in the same category.
