COTTAGEWARE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “COTTAGEWARE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Pike River Corporation, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered on the Principal Register; it was only published for opposition and then abandoned. The goods listed in the record are pottery, ceramic ware and earthenware for use as gifts and otherwise, including flower pots, vases, pitchers, urns, ceramic doorknobs, coasters, candlesticks, mugs, napkin rings, candle holders, decorative glass boxes, serving platters, soap dishes and dinnerware such as plates, bowls, cups, saucers and teapots, salt and pepper shakers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of decorative and functional ceramic items. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on May 31 2007. For anyone thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same or closely related category.
