ESMERALDA GOURMET

What this record means

The record shows that “ESMERALDA GOURMET” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant, Peter Ullrich, failed to answer an Office action, with the final abandonment notice dated July 15 2006. The filing covered only “Fish” in International Class 029 (Meats & Processed Foods), so a later user of the same wording would run into the closest record‑based concern if the goods are fish or closely related food products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Esmeralda Gourmet” in other categories, such as clothing or services. No supplemental‑register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects a non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to market fish products under a similar name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
