AFTON SCIENTIFIC

What this record means

The record shows a live, Principal Register registration (Reg. No. 3566660) owned by AFTON SCIENTIFIC, LLC, a Virginia limited‑liability company, and the mark “AFTON SCIENTIFIC” carries a disclaimer on the word “SCIENTIFIC.” It covers three classes: Class 020 for empty, sterile glass vials and related sterile kits used in pharmaceutical processing; Class 040 for custom manufacture, formulation, processing and filling of pharmaceuticals and biological preparations to customer specifications; and Class 042 for development of pharmaceutical preparations and medicines. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used in any of those pharmaceutical‑related contexts, because the listed goods and services focus on sterile containers, custom drug manufacturing and drug development. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “AFTON” or “SCIENTIFIC” outside those areas. The latest meaningful event is the February 25 2019 notice that the registration was renewed for its first ten‑year term; no future deadline appears in the data. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name in the pharmaceutical manufacturing or development space.
