IT BEGINS WITH TEA
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
This record shows that the mark “IT BEGINS WITH TEA” is dead and was abandoned by Starbucks Corporation, a corporation organized in Washington, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for goods in classes 5, 30 and 32, covering nutritionally fortified beverages, ground and whole bean coffee, cocoa, herbal and non‑herbal tea, various tea and coffee‑based beverages, flavored syrups, baked goods such as muffins and cookies, and a range of light beverages including sparkling water and iced tea. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same categories of tea, coffee, and related beverage products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 27, 2007. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use overlaps those categories.
