MOUNTAIN DEW

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MOUNTAIN DEW” is dead, having been abandoned by PepsiCo, Inc., a corporation organized in North Carolina, because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for the goods “Beach towels; Throws” in class 024. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use on beach towels or throws, but the record does not give PepsiCo control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history indicates that the application was approved for publication and allowed, but the applicant never filed the required use statement, leading to abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the abandoned mark still shows a prior claim on beach towels and throws, and using the same name in that area could create a potential conflict.
