YELLOW

What this record means

The record shows that the YELLOW application is dead, having been refused and dismissed because the filing date did not meet the minimum requirement, and the serial number was assigned in error; the owner listed is Black Gold Compost Company, a corporation organized in Florida. The only goods covered are “agricultural and domestic use; namely, fertilizers, compost, manure, potting and planting soil,” first used in commerce on March 29 1969, so a similar name used for those kinds of products would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Black Gold Compost Company control over every use of the word YELLOW in any context, only over the specific fertilizer and soil categories shown. There is no prosecution history, and the latest meaningful event is the status date of February 5 2004 when the refusal was recorded. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to brand fertilizer or compost products with a similar name.
