What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BRIM BROTHERS” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Cecil V. Gresham, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered and is not live. The only goods listed are men’s, women’s and children’s hats, caps, and bandannas under class 025. A similar name used for those same types of headwear would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. Because the mark never entered the Principal Register, it does not grant control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition or enforcement activity recorded. The latest event was the abandonment on September 18, 2001. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific headwear goods remain a potential area of concern.
