What this record means
The record shows that “COTTAGE” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Craft‑Bilt Manufacturing Company, a corporation organized in Pennsylvania. The mark protects the word “COTTAGE” for awnings, as listed in class 022, with first use in February 2005 and use in commerce by March 2005. A similar name used for awnings or related outdoor shelter products would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the word. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration without any supplemental register sequence. The most recent maintenance event was the renewal on January 8, 2017, and the next required renewal will be in ten years. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration for awnings represents a meaningful risk if the new use overlaps that category.
