What this record means
The record shows that the mark “RUMPELSTILTSKIN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Creative Characters, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed on February 12, 2006 for use in commerce under §1(a). The goods covered are a wide range of household items such as baby bathtubs, bakeware, beverageware, cookie cutters, and figurines of china, earthenware, or porcelain, among others. A similar name used for products in these categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the mark no longer controls any use of the wording, but it does not remove the possibility that other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action and an abandonment notice; no enforcement activity is recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still signals a prior claim in those specific goods, so caution is advised.
