BIRKENSTOCK

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “BIRKENSTOCK” was abandoned on October 7, 2005, after the applicant, Jeffrey Saull, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was never registered and is not live. It was filed on June 9, 2003 on an intent‑to‑use basis and covered cosmetics and cleaning goods such as potpourri, candles, candle accessories like lanterns, non‑precious‑metal candle holders, and horticultural items such as dried plants. Because the mark was abandoned, the owner no longer holds any rights, but the record still indicates that the name was considered for those specific goods. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action, an amendment, a final refusal, and then abandonment, with no subsequent enforcement activity. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals. For someone looking at a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same categories of candles, potpourri, and dried plants, but the abandoned status means there is no active claim to enforce.
