What this record means
The record shows that FIRSTSHOT is a live Principal Register registration owned by FMC IP TECHNOLOGY GMBH, a Swiss GmbH, and it covers the Class 5 goods “herbicide for agricultural use.” Because the registration is limited to that specific agricultural chemical, a similar name used for anything else—say a software product or a food brand—would fall outside the narrow scope the record actually protects, though the wording itself is still on the USPTO’s official list. The record does not give the owner blanket control over every possible use of the word “FIRSTSHOT.” The most recent meaningful event is the first renewal filed and accepted on July 19 2019, which confirms the mark remains active; no future deadline is listed in the data. The prosecution history contains only routine filing and renewal actions and shows no oppositions, cancellations or court proceedings, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market an agricultural herbicide under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated goods or services.
