What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MOUNTAIN DEW” is dead and was abandoned by PepsiCo, Inc., a corporation organized in North Carolina, after no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed following the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are sports helmets under class 009, so the closest concern would be a name used for sports helmets or related electrical and scientific apparatus. This history does not give PepsiCo control over every use of the wording “Mountain Dew.” The prosecution history shows a series of Statement of Use extensions, but the mark never moved to the Supplemental Register; it remained on the Principal Register until abandonment. The latest event is the abandonment notice on December 21, 2009. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you’re considering a similar name for sports helmets, this record suggests a meaningful concern in that specific area.
