AFTON CHEMICAL

What this record means

The record shows that “AFTON CHEMICAL” is a live Principal Register service mark owned by AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, and it has been renewed as of the November 30, 2016 status date. The registration covers “business management services, namely, logistics and supply chain services for others; distributorship services in the field of chemicals, chemical additives, and raw materials” in International Class 035, so a similar name used in those kinds of logistics, supply‑chain or chemical‑distribution contexts would create the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Afton” or “Chemical” outside that described scope. Because the mark sits on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration without a supplemental‑register amendment. The most recent meaningful event is the 10‑year renewal filed on November 30, 2016, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to offer logistics or chemical‑related services under a similar name.
