HACIENDA LA ESMERALDA

What this record means

The record shows that “HACIENDA LA ESMERALDA” is no longer active – it was cancelled on April 15 2016 because the registrant, R. Price Peterson, did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the mark is listed as dead on the Principal Register (Reg. No. 2995022). The registration covered only coffee in International Class 030, so the closest area of concern would be any use of the same or confusingly similar name on coffee or other staple‑food products; uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Hacienda La Esmeralda.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history mainly documents the normal filing, publication, registration and later cancellation steps. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market coffee under a similar name, but the risk is limited to that product class.
