ECOTONER

What this record means

The record shows that ECOTONER is an abandoned application, not a live registration, and the owner listed is The Sherwin‑Williams Company, a corporation organized in Ohio. The filing covered only class 002, specifically “colorant dispersions for use in surface coating compositions,” so the closest area of concern would be any product that functions as a pigment or dye additive in paints, coatings or similar finishes. The record does not give Sherwin‑Williams control over every use of the word ECOTONER in unrelated markets, and it never reached the Supplemental Register; it remained on the Principal Register until it was abandoned. The most recent meaningful event was the abandonment notice mailed on March 22, 2010 after no Statement of Use was filed following the Notice of Allowance dated February 17, 2009. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a coating‑related product with a similar name, because the abandoned filing still signals the owner’s interest in that niche.
