FISH 'N' WAVES

What this record means

The record shows that “FISH ’N’ WAVES” is a cancelled Principal Register trademark owned by WellPet LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and the cancellation was entered on Nov 10 2017 because the registrant failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The registration covered only Class 031 goods—specifically pet food and pet treats, first used in commerce on Sep 30 2010—so a similar name used for anything outside pet food or treats would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “fish” or “waves.” There is no Supplemental Register entry, and the prosecution history simply moves from amendment and approval to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation notice on Nov 10 2017, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond this, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a pet‑food brand with a similar name, because the cancelled registration still signals prior use in that market.
