THE NAME TO BE REGISTERED IS BREAD & BUTTER, ON THE TOP OF THE NAME A LOAF OF BREAD APPEARS AND ON THE SIDE A CUP OF COFFEE

What this record means

The record shows that the application for “THE NAME TO BE REGISTERED IS BREAD & BUTTER, ON THE TOP OF THE NAME A LOAF OF BREAD APPEARS AND ON THE SIDE A CUP OF COFFEE” was filed by BREAD & BUTTER LTD, CO, a Florida corporation, on March 25 2003, but it was abandoned on May 27 2004 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are bakery‑related items—bread, pastries and muffins—under class 043 for restaurant and hotel services, so a similar name used for food‑service or baked‑goods offerings would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “bread” or “butter” in other industries. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice in May 2004; no further maintenance dates are provided. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in September 2003 and the subsequent abandonment, but there are no indications of oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a comparable name for bakery or café services, because the abandoned filing still signals that the USPTO once linked the wording to that specific line of business.
