MARMA LOVERS

What this record means

The record shows that “MARMA LOVERS” is no longer active – the registration was cancelled on January 4 2013 because the owner, E.D. SMITH FOODS, LTD. (also listed as LES ALIMENTS E.D. SMITH LTEE), did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the mark is listed as “dead · cancelled.” The registration covered only class 029, specifically “jams, jellies, marmalades and fruit spreads,” so a similar name used for those food products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over the words “MARMA LOVERS” in other categories, such as clothing or services, because the filing was limited to that narrow goods description. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was published for opposition in March 2006, registered on May 30 2006, and then fell into cancellation for the missed Section 8 filing. No oppositions, cancellations beyond this, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market jams or similar spreads under a comparable name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
