MOTHER

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOTHER” is dead; it was abandoned because the applicant, Knowledge & Merchandising, Inc. Limited, a corporation organized in the United Kingdom, failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on September 2, 2005, and the abandonment was recorded on October 13, 2006. The goods covered were cosmetics and cleaning products in class 3—such as toiletries, shower gel, body wash, facial cleansers, moisturizers, shaving products, hair care items, and perfumes—and pharmaceutical preparations in class 5, including disinfectants, wipes, and antimicrobial sprays. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in those specific product categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “MOTHER.” No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The practical risk for someone considering a similar name is that using “MOTHER” for cosmetics, cleaning, or pharmaceutical goods could conflict with this abandoned mark’s prior claim in those classes.
